What to Wear on a Jet Ski
Reviewed by the Seeking Adrenaline team

Wear what can get wet and stay on your body. The shop issues a life jacket. You bring the layer under it.
Quick Facts
- Swimsuit or quick-dry shorts
- Closed-toe water shoes if they require them
- Sunglasses with a strap
- Sunscreen
- No cotton hoodie you care about
Can I Wear Shorts?
Yes. Quick-dry. Denim gets heavy.
Can I Wear Flip-Flops?
Often to the dock. Not always on the machine. Ask.
Do I Need Water Shoes?
If that shop requires closed-toe water shoes, yes. They protect feet on the dock and on the swim platform. Flip-flops to the parking lot are fine. Barefoot on hot concrete is not a plan.
FAQ
Do they provide wetsuits? Cold water sometimes. Confirm.
