What is the Experience Like?
We love how this jet ski rental turns a typical beach day into a personalized adventure. Starting at Holetown Beach, you’ll check in well before your scheduled time—arriving about 15 minutes early to get fitted with a life jacket and listen to a safety briefing. This step is crucial, especially for first-timers, as it covers basic controls, navigation tips, and safety signals, ensuring everyone feels confident before hitting the water.
Once on the water, the thrill kicks in immediately. The jet skis are described as top quality, and the instructors’ friendly guidance makes the experience accessible whether you’re a novice or a seasoned rider. For many, this adrenaline rush is a highlight, with the wind in your hair, the spray of the ocean, and the warm Caribbean sun overhead.
The Routes and Duration
Supreme Watersports offers three main options: 15, 30, or 60 minutes. We think the 15-minute ride is perfect if you’re short on time but still want a quick burst of excitement. You’ll carve through the clear waters, feeling the speed and observing the coastline from a unique vantage point.
The 30-minute option offers more time to explore a bit further along the coast, giving you a chance to soak in the scenery—palm-lined beaches and shimmering sea—without feeling rushed. It’s a good middle ground for those wanting a taste of both thrill and scenery.
The full hour is for those who want to really embrace the freedom of the ocean. This longer stint allows for practicing maneuvers, exploring further from the starting point, and truly enjoying the water and views at a relaxed pace.
Spectacular Views and Marine Encounters
While zipping across the water, you’ll enjoy sweeping views of Barbados’ golden beaches and lush coastline. Some reviews mention the thrill of seeing the shoreline from this perspective, with many noting how the coastline extends beautifully in both directions. If you’re lucky, you might even spot some marine life, as the Caribbean Sea teems with fish and occasionally, turtles or rays.
