Jet Ski Porto Cervo

The Ultimate Jet Ski Experience on the Costa Smeralda

Porto Cervo is more than turquoise water and superyachts — it is one of the most spectacular places in the Mediterranean to ride a jet ski. From the sheltered bay of Liscia di Vacca to the open waters facing the La Maddalena archipelago, a jet ski session here delivers views that no land-based excursion can match: hidden coves, granite coastline, and water so clear you can see the seabed at speed.

Whether you are a first-timer looking for an adrenaline rush or an experienced rider seeking a high-performance machine, our curated jet ski rental service in Porto Cervo gives you access to an award-winning fleet operated by certified professionals — the same team recognised as “Best World Watersports & Watertoys Company” in 2022, 2023, and 2025, and winner of the Southern Europe Prestige Award 2025/26.

The service operates from the Hotel Pitrizza dock at Liscia di Vacca, one of the most exclusive waterfront locations on the Costa Smeralda, from May 29 to September 30.

Jet Ski Fleet — Every Model Available in Porto Cervo

We don’t offer a single generic jet ski. Our fleet features six distinct models — from pure luxury performance craft to family-friendly cruisers — so you can choose the ride that matches your style, skill level, and the experience you’re after.

Belassi Burrasca 320HP — The Marine Hypercraft

The Belassi Burrasca is not a typical jet ski. It is a 320HP turbocharged marine hypercraft that reaches a top speed of 128 km/h and accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.8 seconds. Born from an obsession with detail and precision engineering, the Burrasca is for riders who demand the absolute pinnacle of performance on water. Its design draws from three elements — water, air, and fire — and the result is something closer to a superbike than a personal watercraft. Rider capacity is 1–2 persons. Boat license required.

Kawasaki Ultra 310LX — Flagship Supercharged Power

The Kawasaki Ultra 310LX is the most powerful supercharged personal watercraft in the PWC industry. Its flagship platform delivers premium comfort with class-leading features from nose to tail, including creature comforts designed for all-day riding on the water. If you want raw power combined with luxury, the 310LX is the machine. Rider capacity 1–3 persons. Boat license required.

Yamaha GP 1800R HO — 180HP Pure Sport

The Yamaha GP 1800R HO is a pure sport machine built for adrenaline-pumping action. Its ultra-light-weight body, industry-first Auto-Trim, and 1.8-litre High Output 4-stroke engine make it one of the most agile and exhilarating jet skis on the market. If you want to split waves and feel every turn, this is your ride. Rider capacity 1–3 persons. Boat license required.

Yamaha VX Cruiser HO — Luxury Family Cruiser

The Yamaha VX Cruiser HO sits at the top of the VX range — the most powerful engine in the family, combined with enhanced graphics, a sporty silhouette, and exceptional cruising luxury. With four cylinders and 1.9 litres of High Output, it delivers a refined ride that suits both adventurous riders and those who prefer a smooth, comfortable cruise along the coastline. Rider capacity 1–3 people. Boat license required.

Yamaha Waverunner GP 1800 — 250HP Performance

The Yamaha Waverunner GP 1800 is a 250HP supercharged machine — super-smooth, super-powerful, with a strong and agile hull built for speed. It is the answer to every performance enthusiast’s wish: an incredible-looking watercraft that delivers instant power the moment you squeeze the throttle. Rider capacity 1–3 persons. Boat license required.

Kawasaki STX 160X — The Best Entry Point

The Kawasaki Jet Ski STX 160X is powered by a class-leading 1,498cc engine with digital fuel injection. It delivers strong acceleration, excellent fuel economy, and low emissions — a fantastic choice for riders who want a genuine jet ski experience at a more accessible price point. Rider capacity 1–3 persons. Boat license required.

All jet ski rentals include fuel (gasoline). A professional driver can be arranged on request at € 3/min, or an instructor/teacher at € 4/min — ideal for beginners or guided coastal tours.

Jet Ski for Children — The YuJet Electric Jet Ski

Porto Cervo is a family destination, and younger riders are not left out. The YuJet is a 100% electric, emission-free jet ski designed specifically for children — quiet, safe, and endlessly fun. It integrates seamlessly with the YuJet electric surfboard and features a dedicated “Slow Mode” for the youngest riders.

The YuJet supports a maximum weight of 55 kg and comes standard with an electric silent propulsion system, modular design, and the highest level of safety. No boat license is required.

No Boat License? Get the RYA Personal Watercraft Certificate in One Day

A boat license is required to ride any jet ski with more than 40HP in Italian waters. If you don’t have one, there is an excellent solution available directly at the dock: the RYA Personal Watercraft Proficiency Course.

This internationally recognised certification is completed in just one day, is open to candidates aged 12 and over, and the license you obtain is valid worldwide. The course covers launching, handling, high and low speed riding skills, collision avoidance, and essential safety information — everything you need to ride confidently and legally.

Important: this course is reserved for non-residents of Italy. Persons residing in Italy must hold a nautical license obtained in Italy to operate a personal watercraft above 40HP.

Candidates aged 12–16 must ride under the supervision of a responsible adult, and their certificate will be endorsed accordingly.

Where the Service Operates

All jet ski rentals depart from the Hotel Pitrizza dock at Liscia di Vacca, one of the most iconic waterfront positions on the Costa Smeralda. The bay offers sheltered waters for beginners and direct access to open sea for experienced riders heading toward the La Maddalena archipelago, Caprera, or the stunning coves along the northern Sardinian coast.

The location is easily reachable from Porto Cervo centre, Poltu Quatu, and Baia Sardinia via the SP 59 coastal road.
