The thrill of riding a Jet Ski or PWC (personal water craft), with droplets of sea spray tickling your face can’t be beaten. They run at up to 65 miles per hour, yet regulation around the use of jet skis is fairly loose. In this article we explore common Jet Ski injuries and safety precautions to help you avoid injury and enjoy the ride.
insurance guide
Small but mighty, jet skis can reach incredible speeds in open water thanks to their jet propelled engines. When you’re skimming across the water, hopping over waves and otherwise zooming around we can fully understand that insurance is the last thing on your mind.

You don't need a licence per se but it does help to get some experience under your belt before you go Jet Skiing. Our guide tells you where you can get a few lessons and how to get certain licenses and qualifications.
When you are towing your jet ski with a trailer, if you have to stop and leave the jet ski and trailer unattended, we require either a hitch lock or a wheel clamp to be fitted to the trailer. We also ask that a hardened steel chain is fitted to the jet ski at all times to keep it secured to the trailer. If you would like to insure the trailer itself, you can do so, just add the value of the trailer to your total sum insured.
Anyone under the age of 21 needs to be agreed by us on a case by case basis. This is usually dependent on age, experience and relevant qualifications, such as the Personal Watercraft Course (PWC). Please call us if you wish to insure anyone in this age group to ensure that we have all the details.
Provided you have no more than two people being towed at a time, we can cover a number of different water toys and types of water skier; you just need to let us know to add the cover for you. We cannot cover toys such as banana boats and air chairs for towing, and we exclude cover for more than two people being towed at any one time.
No, we do not cover jet skis that are used for racing.
No, we can’t. We are only able to cover sit down models.
If you would prefer to spread the cost of your policy, you have the option of setting up a direct debit to pay your premium in equal monthly instalments through our preferred provider, Premium Credit Limited (PCL).
