Jet ski rental in Bilbao.

Jet ski rental in Bilbao, an impressive adventure on the Basque coast.

The jet ski rental in Bilbao offers us a nice range of routes to discover and enjoy. The strategic location of the closest and most important harbor to the capital of Bizkaia, the Puerto Deportivo el Abra de Getxo, not only invites us to contemplate the Basque coast from the water, but also gives us the opportunity to go up the estuary of Bilbao to navigate in front of emblematic places such as the Guggenheim Museum, the Iberdrola Tower or the Euskalduna Palace. What do you think? Action, adventure and tourism in the same experience. Are you up for it? Active tourism in its purest form. With the arrival of summer, high temperatures invite us to perform water activities on the Basque coast. In this sense, we must say that the rental of jet skis in Bilbao is gaining prominence within the experiences offered by the province of Bizkaia. If you want to experience firsthand what it means to sail on a jet ski, if you want to live an exciting and different adventure, we recommend that you value the possibility of doing it in Getxo, on the Biscayan coast, about 15 minutes from Bilbao. It is here, where we find Getxo Watersports Jets, a company with extensive experience in the sector, which offers personalized routes on jet ski along the coast of Biscay. Among the services most demanded by our visitors, we find the jet ski routes along the estuary of Bilbao and the jet ski excursions between Getxo and Plentzia. 2 routes as beautiful as they are eye-catching. We recommend you to read the articles about what to see in Sopela, Barrika, Gorliz, Armintza and Bilbao before you choose your itinerary. Moreover, in case you want to enjoy both areas, we recommend you to consult it, it may be possible to make a personalized route that combines both places.

Although many people relate jet skis with the summer season, you should know that this experience can be done throughout the year. In winter, when the weather is not suitable, Getxo Watersports Jets provides us with a wetsuit to enjoy this incredible experience without fear of getting cold. Remember that it is necessary to book in advance regardless of the time of year in which you do the activity.

Jet ski rental.

The rental of jet skis in Bilbao is one of the activities that is gaining more followers in recent years. In fact, during the summer season, there are many outings that run out of places. Although in theory you can rent jet skis with or without instructor, in practice most companies choose to offer only guided tours. This is the case of Getxo Watersports Jets. Thus, it is common to see from land small groups of jet skis departing from Getxo to Plentzia or Bilbao. We are sure you will enjoy this experience as much as we do. We even dare to say that you will want to repeat it. Many people ask us what is included in this activity, well, we attach a small list with everything that the jet ski rental company provides us for this experience.

The handling of jet skis can be summarized in 4 elements: the handlebars, the brake/throttle levers and the on/off button. No more mystery. Very simple. The first 5 minutes of the experience are enough to get to know the handling of these jet skis. Intuitive and comfortable.

Jet ski rental with instructor.

All the jet ski experiences offered by this Basque company have the presence of a monitor. An aspect that provides security and tranquility to all those who wish to perform this activity. In our case, the instructor was Iñigo Martínez, world champion of jet skis and co-owner of Getxo Watersports Jets. A real luxury. An unknown txapeldun (champion in Basque). Unfortunately, jet ski competitions do not get the attention they deserve in the media. This Bizkaian has a bronze medal, a Spanish Championship, a King’s Cup, a European Championship and a first place in a World Cup race, among many others. Almost nothing. With him by our side, we sailed with total confidence, without fear, enjoying 100% of the environment and the bike. A joy. We recommend you to follow his indications at all times. We take this opportunity to publicly thank Iñigo and Olga for the great attention they gave us.

Rental of jet skis without license.

It is important to point out that it is not necessary to have a specific qualification to be able to navigate a jet ski. And the fact is that, according to the current law, any person of legal age that navigates in a guided excursion of rental jet skis that do not exceed 55CV, does not need to have a degree. That said, it is interesting to know that there are 3 qualifications for jet skis depending on the power that our boat has: Jet ski skipper A, Jet ski skipper B and Federative authorization of jet ski skipper C. We can also sail in jet ski if we are in possession of any of the following titles: skipper for basic navigation, recreational boat skipper, yacht skipper and yacht captain.

Jet skis for rent.

The jet skis for rent currently available at Getxo Watersports Jets correspond to the model Sea – Doo GTI 130 of the Bombardier brand. Modern and comfortable jet skis that offer a great user experience. What’s more, on the Canadian manufacturer’s website they do not hesitate to describe this jet ski as one of the most suitable models for “maximum fun”. No wonder. On the other hand, the fact that the managers of this Basque company offer sales and after-sales service through their Planeta Jets store, makes it possible to renew their rental fleet every year. And who wouldn’t be motivated by the fact that the rental motorcycles on which they enjoy this experience are brand new? Although the jet skis rented in Getxo Watersports Jets are approved to navigate up to 3 people, its company policy only allows 2 people per jet ski. A fact that makes us sail with greater comfort and safety. Although many people refer to jet skis by the term “Jet Ski”, we must point out that “Jet Ski” is a brand name, not a concept. Due to the past success of the brand owned by Kawasaki Heavy Industries, it has become a popular term to refer to all types of jet skis.

Although the jet ski routes can be customized to suit the needs of each client, the most demanded experience is the jet ski rental for 1 hour. This activity has a cost of 120 € per jet ski regardless of the people who occupy it. That is why, if we share a jet ski with our partner, friend or family member, the cost per person would go down to 60 €. A more than correct price if we take into account everything included in this experience. And we must remember that in addition to having an expert monitor throughout the trip and that the motorcycles used are brand new, we must also take into account that these are small groups, 3 motorcycles maximum per route. 3 indispensable aspects for our experience on a jet ski in Bilbao to become a memory that we will never forget. What do you think?

Location.

Although we have focused this article to show the different routes in jet skis in Bilbao and surroundings, we must mention that the closest and most important marina is located in the municipality of Getxo. It is here, from where all the mentioned routes start. Located at the mouth of the estuary, in the Bay of Abra, between the sea and Bilbao, this charming Basque town offers the possibility of enjoying jet ski routes both in the city (Bilbao estuary) and along the coast. A strategic and ideal location for the practice of this sport. To get to Puerto Deportivo el Abra de Getxo, you can use either public or private transport. If you use the former, the best option is to take the metro and get off at Gobela or Neguri station, from where we have another 15 minutes walk to reach our destination. On the other hand, if you use private transport, we recommend you to park your vehicles in the parking lot in front of the Planeta Jet store, near the cruise terminal in Bilbao. You can’t miss it.

TurismoVasco Tiketa.

This experience has our humble accreditation “TurismoVasco Tiketa”, a sticker, which indicates those companies that offer high quality services in the Basque Country. An accreditation, with which we try to facilitate to the people who visit us the selection of restaurants, hotels or companies of active tourism among others.
