Jet ski rental prices in Mallorca: Tours and self-drive hire

If you want to hire a jet ski in Mallorca, a simple “price per hour” only tells you so much. A guided ride along the coast, a short trip around the bay and independent hire with a licence are different kinds of offer. The quoted price may also be per jet ski, per person or per activity. This guide gives you specific examples for 30 minutes, one hour and longer hire periods – and shows you which offers are actually worth comparing. One key question is whether you’ll ride alone or take someone with you: sometimes a second seat costs extra; sometimes a per-person price is simply calculated from the total. You’ll also learn what to check about riding time, the briefing and licence requirements before you book. That way, you can tell a cheap headline price from an offer that genuinely suits you.

How much does jet skiing cost in Mallorca?

For 30 minutes, you can find offers starting at 65 € in Santa Ponsa, for example; Jetski Vice quotes 99 € in Cala d’Or. One hour costs 159 € with Jetski Vice. If you want to ride for longer, it also offers 90 minutes for 199 €. These are prices for specific offers, not a standard rate across Mallorca.

Location alone doesn’t explain the price. The route, tour format and what the price covers matter too. So compare what you’re booking first, and only then compare the price.

Hiring a jet ski in Mallorca: prices for one hour

For one-hour bookings in particular, prices for guided tours and independent hire can differ considerably. In Cala Millor, a one-hour tour is offered from 100 €; Jetski Vice quotes 159 € for one hour in Cala d’Or. For independent hire with a licence, CHILLI Mallorca quotes 200 € per jet ski per hour in Puerto Portals.

Note: “From €100 for one hour” and “€200 per jet ski for one hour” do not answer the same question. Check each offer to see whether a guide is included, who is allowed to drive and what the price covers.

Guided tour or self-drive hire: what are you paying for?

On a guided tour, you pay for a ride along a set route. This is particularly relevant if you do not have the right licence for self-drive hire: sunbonoo explicitly states which of its tours are available without a licence. Self-drive hire, by contrast, is a different product. CHILLI Mallorca’s offer in Puerto Portals requires a boating licence; self-drive hire in the Bay of Alcúdia through Click Mallorca also requires a licence.

So the fact that you can book a tour without a licence does not mean you can hire a jet ski to drive on your own without one. The terms of the specific offer are what matter.

Important: This is not legal or tax advice. If you want to drive on your own, check with the hire company before paying which licence it accepts for the chosen jet ski and offer.

What do two hours or a longer day’s hire cost?

For longer rides, it is worth looking at the total price rather than just the calculated hourly rate. Click Mallorca lists self-drive hire in the Bay of Alcúdia at €199 for one hour and €299 for two hours; availability of the two-hour option must be requested separately. CHILLI Mallorca publishes the following prices for Puerto Portals:

This pricing scale describes a specific offer, not an island-wide daily rate. If you only want a short ride, the lower hourly rate of a longer hire won't save you anything: what matters is the total you pay.

Going alone or as a pair: is the price per jet ski?

A displayed ‘price per person’ isn't always the hire price. Click Mallorca's one-hour offer in the Bay of Alcúdia costs €199 per jet ski. The €99.50 quoted there for two people is simply that total price split between them. According to the offer, the jet ski can carry up to three people.

Jetski Vice in Cala d’Or prices things differently: there is an extra charge of €10 for a second person on the jet ski. For the 30-minute ride priced at €99, that makes €109 in total if you ride together. So before comparing prices, ask: Is the amount per vehicle, per activity or per person – and is there an extra charge for a passenger?

Which locations suit which ride lengths?

You don't necessarily need to choose the same location for a short ride as for a longer tour. The specific offers cater to different preferences:

If the coastal route matters most to you, look at the route. If you want to ride independently and for longer, look specifically for self-drive hire. For a different view from the water, see our guide to boat trips in Mallorca.

How to check an offer before booking

1. Check the format: Is it a guided tour, a short ride or self-drive hire?
2. Check what the price covers: Are you paying per person, per jet ski or per activity? What is the charge for a passenger?
3. Check the riding time: Does the booked duration cover the ride itself or the whole session, including the briefing and transfer?
4. Ask about licence requirements in advance: For self-drive hire in particular, check the requirements with the specific operator.
5. Check what is included: Click Mallorca’s offer for the Bay of Alcúdia lists fuel, insurance and life jackets as included. Don’t assume the same applies to other offers.
6. Confirm availability: A longer option in particular may need to be requested separately.

The most common mistakes when comparing prices

The most common mistake is putting guided tours and self-drive hire on the same price list. You cannot judge a guided hour in Cala Millor for €100 against an hour of self-drive hire in Puerto Portals for €200 on price alone.

A shared group price can be just as misleading: the €99.50 per person in the Alcúdia example applies only if two people share the jet ski at a total price of €199. And a low starting price for a short ride tells you nothing about the cost of a full hour. So look beyond the headline price on the listing and check the duration, how the price is calculated and the conditions.

Checklist for your jet ski ride

• The booked riding time matches what you want to experience.
• You know whether it is a guided tour or self-drive hire.
• The total price for your jet ski and all passengers is clear.
• You have confirmed the licence requirements for this specific offer.
• You have checked whether the briefing, transfer and riding time are listed separately.
• You know exactly what is included.

What next?

Once you have compared the conditions, decide on the riding time and format first, then choose a route. A 30-minute option may be enough for a short trial ride; if you want to see more of the coast, check the exact route of a longer tour. If you would rather drive a boat yourself or hire a yacht, the guides to the recreational boating licence in Spain and yacht charter on Mallorca will help you assess those other options.

Conclusion

In the examples given, jet skiing on Mallorca costs from €65 for 30 minutes; an hour is offered as a guided tour for €100 in Cala Millor and as self-drive hire requiring a licence for €200 in Puerto Portals. Longer bookings can reduce the effective hourly rate, but they increase the total cost. The best comparison is therefore not just “euros per hour”, but the total price for the same type of ride – including the conditions for passengers and licences.
