What’s Included and How It Works

This 20-minute session is structured to give you a quick yet comprehensive introduction to flying on a Flyboard, a device attached to a Jet Ski that propels water to lift you into the air. The package includes a 15-minute instructor briefing, which covers safety instructions and basic controls, followed by 20 minutes of actual Flyboarding with your personal instructor and Jet Ski support.

The gear provided is quite versatile — from shorty 3mm wetsuits to full 7mm ones — ensuring comfort regardless of the weather. You’ll also wear a life jacket and a communication helmet, allowing you to chat freely with your instructor.

Learning Experience and Skill Development

Most participants find learning to operate the Flyboard surprisingly easy with proper guidance. The instructor’s real-time communication helps you understand how to balance, control your movements, and get into the air smoothly. As one reviewer noted, “The trainers are amazingly friendly and useful,” which is crucial because feeling comfortable and confident is key to enjoying the ride.

While some people naturally pick up the controls faster, the experience is accessible enough that nearly everyone can achieve basic flying within a few minutes. You’ll get to slalom, do 360 spins, and even mimic a dolphin jump, which adds to the fun and challenge.

The Scenery and Meeting Point

The activity takes place right next to a jetty, with a white Peugeot van marked Flyboard Malta visible upon arrival. The meeting point is convenient, and if you’re early, you can enjoy the surroundings and watch other participants. The activity ends back at the same spot, making logistics straightforward.

Review Highlights and Authentic Insights

According to one enthusiastic review, “Very nice experience, recommend with both hands! The trainers are amazingly friendly and useful! Make sure to relax and enjoy!” This highlights how much of the experience hinges on the instructor’s friendliness and the participant’s relaxed attitude.

Another person mentioned that almost anyone can start flying during their first minutes, echoing how accessible the activity is, even for beginners.

Practicalities and Considerations

While the activity is short, it offers excellent value for money considering the safety gear, instruction, and the thrill of flying. However, transportation isn’t included, so you’ll need to plan how to get to the meeting point — which is just a short walk from most accommodations near the jetty.

You should wear swimwear, bring a towel and sunscreen, and be prepared for an adrenaline rush. Participants must sign a waiver, be able to swim, and meet age and weight restrictions, ensuring safety and comfort for all.
