If you’re looking to add an adrenaline-packed activity to your Croatian holiday, Omi’s Jet Ski Rental offers a fantastic way to do just that. This experience combines the thrill of speeding across the crystal-clear waters of the Adriatic with the freedom to explore at your own pace — all with the reassurance of safety instructions and gear.
From the moment you see the sleek SeaDoo GTI 130 waiting at the main beach, you’ll know this is more than just a typical water sport. It’s a chance to carve your own path along the coastline, soak up stunning views, and potentially hop over to nearby islands like Bra.
What we love most is the personalized nature of the tour — you control the speed, duration, and route, making it ideal for both adventure seekers and casual explorers. The straightforward pickup point near Omi’s Old Town keeps things simple. A slight consideration is that this experience requires participants to be at least 18 years old to drive, and you’ll need to keep your small valuables secure during your ride.
This activity suits couples, friends, or solo travelers who crave a fun, active escape on the water with beautiful scenery as their backdrop.

Getting a Feel for the Experience
While we haven’t tried it ourselves, the reviews highlight how well-organized and enjoyable this jet ski rental is. The process begins with a quick walk to the end of Velika Plaa, passing the Macao Caffe & Cuisine beach bar — a familiar spot for many visitors. The jet ski kiosk on the left is easy to find, and staff are known for providing clear safety instructions and life jackets.
The real draw is the freedom to explore. With speeds reaching 80-84 km/h, you’ll feel the rush of wind and salt spray as you carve across the sea. The calm conditions typical of Croatian coastlines make this accessible even for those new to jet skiing. Reviews mention that the jet ski has two seats, perfect for couples wanting to share the experience, but there’s plenty of room for solo adventurers too.
One of the standout features is the ability to extend your ride — a 30-minute minimum allows for a quick splash, while a longer rental can see you heading over to Bra or the Blue Lagoon, both of which are celebrated for their pristine waters and scenic beauty.

Value and Practical Considerations

You can tailor the adventure to fit your schedule, whether it’s a quick 30-minute blast or a longer trip to nearby islands.
However, keep in mind that this experience is only suitable for participants 18 and older who can operate the jet ski, and non-swimmers should exercise caution. Also, since the activity is weather-dependent, calm conditions are ideal for a safe and enjoyable ride.

It’s also suitable for those who want to enjoy the scenic coastline without committing to a full boat trip or guided tour.
While not aimed at children under 16 or non-swimmers, it’s an accessible thrill for most adults comfortable in the water. The straightforward logistics, friendly staff, and quick safety briefing make it easy for first-timers to feel confident.
