Anywhere on Skiathos rent out a jet ski? I've always fancied a go!
If so, any idea how much?
Any other comments?
Cheers.

ive never seen any in skiathos but i havnt been to all beaches. Its great fun abit like a motorbike or water. you need strong legs, best to stand with legs bent if you sit as you go through waves or swell you bounce on seat and end up with bruised bum. It always looks flat calm, when you get out abit the swells start, go straight through them, if you turn away and tried to go alongside yoy'll flip over. You have a safety cut out attached to your wrist if you come off the engine immediately cuts out. I last had a go in Thassos a few years ago i think it was about £15 for a quarter of an hour, it seems a long time when you're out there.

was a biker many years ago , as a pillion passenger did thousands of miles,used to go to speedway, motorbike racing, i remember hot summers as a teenager not wearing a helmet as too hot ! That was before i worked in A&E ! After we got married a car swiftly followed, when ex husband had mid life crisis he bought another bike. Hmmm My eldest son had a bike for a while (worried me sick) he said want a ride? with a smirk , well i surprised him when i said that was tame we used to do over a ton regulary. Ah those were the days !

Resurrecting this.
I didn't bother last year, but this year my 10 year-old son says he wants a go.
I know they wouldn't let him out on his own, but would he be able to come on with me?
Any more general information welcome.

I can’t recollect ever seeing a jet ski in Skiathos, but would have thought, if anywhere, possibly ski school at Nostos or watersport centre in kouk.

I used to go on back of my dads motorbike when I was about 7 he rode very slowly with me on I loved it no helmet! He would be fine behind you they insist on life jackets tell him to hold on tight by putting arms round you , and if he’s not happy tap on ur arm . Obviously not go as crazy with fast turns you could do alone. My husband was shaking after first jet ski trip with me.
