Jet ski rental

[Diane65]

I've noticed that many of the beaches offer jet ski rentals. Does anyone have an idea with the cost of rental might be? How about the cost of parasailing? Or a website that might have that type of info. Thanks so much.

I know at Cabbage Beach you can get it for 100 an hour

Jet ski's are available at Cabbage Beach (Atlantis-Paradise Island) as well as Cable Beach, and on most excursions to small islands. (the vendors sometimes follow the boats out to the islands).

 

The start off rate is about $85 per 1/2 hour, but you usually can get them down to around $55 or $60. On Cable Beach, you're more likely to get them down even further.

 

The surf is rougher at Cabbage Beach than it is on Cable Beach.

 

Parasailing is about the same. around $65 for each ride.

Thanks for the jet ski info. Are the beaches very far from the dock? I assume we could get there by bus or taxi?

To get to Cabbage Beach, take the Ferry boats from the docks to Paradise Dock ($3pp), walk along the pathway for about 5-10 minutes to the walkway next to the Sheraton Grand. (you'll pass Atlantis on th way). Ferries run from 9am to 6pm daily.

 

To get to Cable Beach, either grab a cab for about $12 for 2 people, or take the #10 jitney (minibus) from downtown near the docks (ask for directions, it's just a couple of short blocks to the bus stop). Ask the driver to drop you off at the Cable Beach Hotels. The fare is $1pp exact fare only, and you pay as you leave. Buses run til about 6pm.. and they run every few minutes.
