What to Wear for Jet Skiing in Dubai: Full Guide for Comfort & Safety

Start with your swim base:

• Swim shorts or a quick-dry swimsuit are ideal. If you need extra protection in the sun, consider a rash guard.
• For those seeking more coverage (especially in Dubai), wearing modest swimwear is the best option, like swim leggings with a lightweight top or a full-coverage swimsuit.
• Your swimwear will sit under the rest of the gear we provide for your safety.

Our certified instructors will provide life jackets and quick safety briefing sessions at all our tours.

Dubai’s midday sun and reflective water surface together demand extra protection:

• Slap on a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30+ or higher) before you get drenched in the water, and ensure to reapply after your ride.
• Pair it with sunglasses that are jet ski-friendly (any sunglasses with a strap so they stay on when you ride) and a cap or hat while you’re out of the water.
• Consider wearing a lightweight UV-protective rash guard or top, especially if you’ll be exposed to the sun for longer sessions (like the 30 to 90-minute rides with us).
• If you’re carrying your wallet, keys, and mobile phones during the jet ski ride, then wear a waterproof bag over our instructor-provided safety jacket to safely store them. 
• We supply the safety jacket (life vest) and a complete briefing before your ride as part of our package.

• Swim-friendly flip flops or water shoes are good choices for walking to and from the dock, but you’ll ride in water shoes or barefoot so you can comfortably grip the footrests.
• Bring a towel, and if you have long hair, a band or clip to keep it secure.
• Store all your valuables safely before your ride.

Always remember, towels, sunglasses, swimwear, and goggles are what you need to bring and wear on your own, and as per your choice. 

Our team will help recommend what you can wear to jet ski in Dubai, provide a protective vest and convey driving precautions to let you stay safe on the water. 

Atlantis Hotel Tour, or the 90-minute Palm Jumeirah Tour, you must first consider how long you’ll be out there to dress accordingly. 

• Shorter rides (30 mins): We recommend a basic swimsuit, sunglasses, sunscreen, and water-friendly shoes are more than enough.
• Longer rides (60 to 90 mins): We recommend you add a rash guard, waterproof bag, UV-top, and change into dry clothes after completing the riding session.
• If you’ve booked our jet ski ride during a peak-sun time (midday), heavier sun protection is a must.

• Life jackets are mandatory on all our rides; one will be provided and fitted by our team. 
• Stay hydrated: We provide bottled water as part of the jet ski package. 
• We request that you arrive at least 15 minutes before your scheduled time so you have plenty of time to gear up and listen to the jet ski operating briefing.
• Avoid wearing heavy jewellery or items that might cause discomfort while riding.

If you’re concerned about modesty, wear a fitted long-sleeve swim top under the life jacket; it won’t bulk you up and will keep you comfortable.

Choosing the right outfit to explore jet ski rides will help you:

• Remain calm and cool even while exposed to the hot Dubai sun and when riding across humidity-filled waves.
• Stay safe and visible; a well-fitted rash guard or colorful swim top will help you stand out.
• Protect your skin from UV and your eyes from glare, which is crucial for sight and comfort.
