Flyboard in Malta: Learn to Fly Above Water

Strap in and lift off the water in minutes

Flyboarding in Malta is a 45-minute water sport session where you learn to operate a jet-ski-powered board that launches you into the air. After a 15-minute safety briefing and dry-land instruction, a personal instructor guides you through 30 minutes in the water using a communication helmet so you can hear corrections in real time. Children from age 10 are welcome. Weight must fall between 30kg and 100kg.

The experience

You start on dry land with a 15-minute briefing that covers safety, board control and what to expect once you're in the water. The Flyboard itself is a platform attached to a jet ski: the jet ski operator controls the thrust while you focus on balance and movement. A personal instructor stays with you throughout, communicating through a helmet so you can hear corrections and encouragement without stopping. Most people achieve basic flight control within the first few minutes. The goal over your 30 minutes in the water is to progress from hovering to slalom turns, dolphin jumps and 360-degree spins.

The session includes a communication helmet, life jacket and a wetsuit (ranging from a 3mm shorty to a full 7mm suit depending on water temperature). You're paired one-to-one with an instructor who speaks English or Italian, which means the pace adjusts to your learning speed: some people pick it up faster than others, but the setup is designed so almost anyone can fly on their first attempt. The jet ski operator and your personal instructor work as a team to keep you safe while you're airborne.

The activity runs 45 minutes total, with the first 15 minutes on shore and 30 in the water. You'll need to be between 30kg and 100kg to participate. The location is accessible by public transportation, and all facilities are wheelchair accessible, though the activity itself is not recommended for people with spinal injuries, pregnancy, or poor cardiovascular health.
