Magnetic Island Jet Skis

Adventure awaits with Magnetic Island Jet Skis. Locally owned and operated by our family, Andrew and Ash, the same team behind This Is Magnetic Island, we love giving back to our fellow island businesses while sharing the magic of Maggie.

We offer guided jet ski tours around the island and supervised hire within Horseshoe Bay seven days a week. Whether you join a tour or hire a jet ski, you will be the captain of your own ride, exploring the island’s bays, beaches, and marine life your way. It is the perfect mix of adventure, freedom, and a little island magic, all while supporting local.

Nestled in picturesque Horseshoe Bay, sheltered by stunning granite boulder headlands, we are dedicated to sharing the island’s beauty and pointing guests to the must-see adventures. With the largest jet ski hire area on the East Coast of Australia, it is hard to beat for choice, space, and safety.

Bookings are easy online, or you can try your luck with a walk-in. We offer 30 and 60-minute hire sessions, each starting with a full safety briefing. No licence is required, and with a minimum age of six, it is a fun, family-friendly experience. Larger groups can swap drivers in and out, letting everyone get a turn on the water. Horseshoe Bay’s calm waters near shore and gentle chop further out make it perfect for learning, practicing, or just cruising.

Our guided tours take you to the spots we love most, including the famous Five Beach Bays, remote areas only accessible by the sea. Departing from Horseshoe Bay, you can explore hidden gems, tackle the Top End, or take the full island lap to see all 23 bays. Swim in secluded spots, float over reefs with marine life, and if it is the right season, catch a glimpse of migrating whales.

Come for the jet skis and stay for everything else Horseshoe Bay has to offer. It is adventure, relaxation, and a true slice of island life all in one.

WHAT WE LOVE

Five Bays in 90 Minutes: Head beyond Horseshoe Bay to Lovers, Maud, Norris, Joyce and Wilson Bays, exploring a stretch of Magnetic Island coastline that most visitors never get to see from the water.

See Maggie From the Water: Ride alongside huge granite headlands, national park and secluded beaches, with a completely different perspective of the island than you’ll get from the road or walking trails.

Wildlife Along the Way: Keep an eye out for turtles, rays, dolphins and seasonal humpback whales as you ride, with every tour offering a chance to see what’s moving through the waters around Maggie.

More Than a Jet Ski Ride: Our guides share local knowledge, island stories and a few favourite spots along the way, with time to stop, swim and actually enjoy where you are.

Go All the Way Around: Our Full Island Tour takes you around Maggie’s entire coastline, including Arthur, Florence, Radical and Balding Bays, before continuing around the more remote eastern and southern sides of the island.
