Take control of your own Yamaha VX Jet Ski and spend two hours exploring the coastline and open waters of Auckland’s beautiful Hauraki Gulf.

This self-drive Jet Ski rental gives you the freedom to create your own adventure and enjoy much more than a quick ride around the bay. Choose a fast, exciting ride across the water, a relaxed scenic cruise along the Whangaparāoa Peninsula, a fishing mission, or a combination of both. Explore extended sections of coastline, discover sheltered bays, stop for a break and experience the Gulf at your own pace.

Enjoy the freedom of independent exploration with complete peace of mind. Your Jet Ski is monitored through real-time GPS tracking throughout the rental, and remote assistance is available while you are on the water. You can contact the team to ask for directions, route advice, operating assistance or guidance whenever needed, giving you the independence of a self-drive adventure without feeling that you are completely on your own.

Depending on the weather and sea conditions on the day, your two-hour rental can provide views along the coast and towards islands such as Tiritiri Matangi. Suggested routes and suitable areas to explore will be discussed during your safety briefing. Routes may be adjusted to provide the safest and most enjoyable experience for the conditions.

Each Yamaha Jet Ski can carry up to two adults and one child, subject to a combined maximum weight of 190 kilogrammes. One person drives while passengers can swap during the rental, provided every driver meets the minimum driver requirements and completes the safety briefing.

No licence or previous Jet Ski experience is required. Before departure, you will receive clear operating instructions, a comprehensive safety briefing, lifejackets, local route information and practical advice to help you feel comfortable and confident.
