Oakley grew up living just minutes away from his family’s sports cruiser / PWCs at the local marina and started power boating at a very young age, since then he knew this is the industry he wanted to work in. Oakley has experience both in English waters and internationally having rode PWCs in Spain and Power Boats in Dubai
Oli - Instructor
Oli started out at South Coast Jet Ski as an apprentice, learning the ropes from our highly qualified senior members of staff. Our CEO Rorie took Oli under his wing and with his guidance Oli qualified his RYA PWC proficiency course and his RYA Instructors course with flying colours. Oli is excited to get back out onto the water with our South Coast Jet Ski customers this season.
Equipment
In February 2021 we purchased 3 x brand new Seadoo jet skis. We chose the 2021 GTI model as it has a re-designed hull and lower centre of gravity. This provides incredible stability and confidence both at speed and when resting and yet it is lightweight enough to be ultra-responsive for a power-filled fun factor when you are ready for it.
Frequently asked questions
No! You will always be accompanied by a fully qualified PWC instructor when on the tour, therefore you are not required to hold any qualifications, and previous experience is not necessary!
Yes, there is a maximum weight capacity of 272kg per ski.
Of course! Each ski has a shock proof compartment to store a phone in. It is requested that you do not attempt to use your phone while operating the ski, and riders are reminded that bringing personal belonging on the water is at their own risk. There will also be a photo opportunity, where the instructor will offer to take pictures on their own device and send them to you should you wish.
