Detailed Breakdown of the Experience
Meeting Point and Initial Setup
Starting at Cirkewwa, a picturesque area with a relaxed vibe, you’ll gather with other riders near the cafe. The staff will give you a safety briefing, explaining how to operate the jet ski—simple enough for most, even if you’ve never been on one before. The process involves signing a quick waiver form and donning a provided safety life jacket, which is comfortable and easy to wear.

The jet skis are capable of impressive speeds, and reviews suggest riders have enjoyed the freedom of roaming across Malta’s crystal-clear waters.
The 30-minute window is generally enough to explore the channel between Malta and Comino. Several reviews mention the “lots of space to roam freely,” and that it was “a blast”—a true highlight for adrenaline junkies and sightseers alike.
