Get ready to try flyboarding in St Kitts with expert instructors guiding every step—from safety briefing to your first flight above turquoise waves. You’ll get all equipment (helmet included) and plenty of encouragement as you learn to hover and even dive dolphin-style—a rush you’ll remember long after drying off.
So there I was, wobbling on the sand in a life vest, staring at these wild-looking boots with jets attached. The sun was already hot, and you could smell salt and sunscreen everywhere—someone’s reggae playlist drifting over from a beach bar. Our instructor, Marcus, grinned and said, “Don’t overthink it—just let the water do the work.” Honestly, I wasn’t sure if I’d even get up on the thing.
We shuffled into the water—me, my cousin, and two other folks who looked just as nervous. The flyboard session started close to shore so everyone could watch (and laugh). Marcus clipped me in, checked my helmet, then gave this quick rundown about balance and how to steer. When the jets kicked in under my feet for the first time? It felt like standing on a firehose. I shot up maybe three feet before splashing down again—my cousin cheered from the sand. After a few tries (and some very ungraceful landings), I finally hovered above the water for real. Wind in my face, sea spray everywhere—I still think about that feeling.
The coolest part? Once you get steady, they show you how to dive under like a dolphin. It’s wild—one second you’re flying, next you’re slicing through blue-green water with bubbles all around your mask. The whole private flyboarding experience lasted about half an hour but felt way shorter. By the end I was grinning like an idiot and already planning to show off those videos back home.
