In Cagnes-sur-Mer, Cagnes Watersports offers introductory jet-ski sessions and tours supervised by state-qualified instructors. The base uses 110 hp Yamaha VX jet skis and allows licence-free driving under professional supervision.
Which option should you choose?
For a first experience, introductory sessions can last 20, 30, 40 or 60 minutes in a designated area, following the instructor's guidance. The jet ski can carry the driver alone or with a passenger.
To explore the Côte d’Azur coastline, guided tours last 1 hr 30 min or 2 hrs. Depending on the option and conditions, routes head towards Cap d’Antibes and the Îles de Lérins, or towards Nice, Villefranche-sur-Mer and Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat.
Do you need a boating licence?
No, not for the introductory sessions and guided tours advertised by the base. The instructor explains navigation rules and accompanies the trip. Licensed drivers can also choose options suited to their level.
Before you visit
Cagnes Watersports is a multi-activity base: parasailing, inflatable towing rides, wakeboarding and waterskiing complement jet-skiing. For an outing focused on exploring the coast, a 1 hr 30 min or 2-hour tour is more suitable than a short introduction in a designated area.
An extra touch
Departing from Cagnes-sur-Mer puts the base between two very different directions: Cap d’Antibes / Lérins to the west or Nice / Cap-Ferrat to the east. The route can therefore significantly change the tour experience.
