About This Experience

You're the only one in control here. No experience is needed — a quick briefing covers everything before you set off, and from then on the bay of Santa Maria, and further along the coast on the longer rides, is yours to explore at your own pace. Three lengths are available, from a quick 30-minute taste of the bay to a full 2-hour run out to the dramatic cliffs of Monte do Leão, with snorkeling built into the longest option.

Highlights

✅ Ride your own jet ski — no experience or licence required

✅ Turtles are a common sight, even on the shortest ride

✅ The 2-hour route reaches the cliffs of Monte do Leão, with 20 minutes of snorkeling included

✅ Possible sightings: stingrays, colourful fish, and occasionally dolphins

✅ Hotel pickup and drop-off included on every ride length

Frequently asked questions

Do I need experience to ride a jet ski?

No — Maï and Vincent explain how the jet ski works and the safety rules before every departure. It's straightforward, and the pace is set to match your comfort level.

Can children ride?

Yes, from age 8, always accompanied by a responsible adult. Kids can even try a bit of piloting themselves.

What if I want more of a thrill?

Confident riders can request the Costa da Fragata route — a wilder stretch of coastline with dramatic cliffs and open Atlantic swell.

Will I see wildlife?

It's genuinely possible — dolphins, turtles, and flying fish are all seen along this coastline, though nothing's guaranteed on any given day.
