Vancouver Seadoo Rental - Overview

Renting a jetski in Vancouver has never been easier or more convenient. Choose from three premium Seadoo models and rent as long as you’d like. From our central location on Granville Island, you’re only moments away from unobstructed views of our iconic city sites. And with a longer rental and upgraded jetski, Vancouver’s unmatched natural beauty is now your playground…

 

Your Day. Your Way.

Explore the sites, sounds and unforgettable highlights of Vancouver with your very own jet ski. Go where you want, when you want, and get there at any pace you choose!

 

Exhilarating, Stable & Fun 

Our range of premium Seadoo options are simple to drive and stable enough for beginners to learn on – but fast and agile enough for spins, cornering and letting it rip on the open water.

 

Go Where Most People Don’t

While most people stick to the pavement, you’ll have the freedom to explore glacial fjords, visit remote islands, and take in the magnificent landscapes only accessible by boat.

 

Memorable Wildlife Encounters

With longer rentals and a bit more time, go searching for seals, sea lions, bald eagles, and even occasionally spot some of our black bears and dolphins.

 

No Extra Fuel Fees

Most jetski rental companies make you pay for gas separately, but with us you get one full tank of gas included. This means less time at the gas dock & more time on the water

What Our Guests Are Saying

Amazing spot! We rented two Sea Doos and it was such a blast! The staff was super helpful and informed and the Sea Doos, boats, and dock were obviously quality and well looked after. Next trip to Van City will require a stop in for sure. Highly recommend checking these guys out!

Did the 2-hour seadoo rental – one of the best adventures I’ve ever experienced! Very friendly and accommodating staff who clearly explained the safety protocols and seadoo instructions. All the equipment you need (wetsuits, life jackets, etc.) are provided. The seadoo felt safe and operated smoothly. This was my first time jetskiing and I’m excited to return to VWA in the future!

I opted for a private jet ski tour this time for my partners birthday (as a surprise) and she was absolutely blown away and had a BLAST! It was her first time and she said it was one of the funnest things she’s ever done 🙂 Our tour guide Justin was EXCEPTIONAL and made our day on the water one to remember

Guest Review

We loved the speed of the upgraded skidoo! Our guide was amazing – fun, pointed out lots of new things and places we didn’t know even though we have lived in Vancouver for over 10 years

Naz Virji

I loved the tour so much I insisted my brother who was also in town that week to go rent Jetskis with his friends, and he went not once, BUT TWICE! You guys really made my entire trip in Vancouver so memorable. Thank you so much for being so kind – it is so clear that it is a family owned business.

Frequently asked questions

While we do offer walk-in Sea-doo rentals, we regularly sell out throughout the season. We strongly recommend booking online as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.

Paid parking is available throughout Granville Island near our office. There’s lots of space but on the weekends it can fill up, so plan to arrive a little early. Want to skip the hassle? You can easily catch a 10-15 min Uber or taxi from any hotel downtown!

We recommend it! You can book online or call us at (604) 736-5155. Please arrive 1 hour  prior to booking.

It’s up to you. We have waterproof cases for purchase. We recommend keeping phones in the watertight storage compartment at the front of the Seadoo while you are moving.

No. You must not be under the influence of any drugs or alcohol while operating the Seadoo. You are welcome to bring water or juice.

Our guests often choose to wear a bathing suit and wetsuit combination, as denim & jeans are prohibited on the Seadoos. Otherwise, you’re welcome to wear anything you feel comfortable in.

We have cubbies in our office as well as small paid lockers for valuables such as wallets, passports and phones.

You can leave your shoes right on the dock, but you’re also welcome to leave them in a cubby inside the office. Water shoes are not needed but can help keep your feet warm.

We have full-length wetsuits that are optional and complimentary for all our guests. They won’t keep you dry but they will keep you warm when wet as well as protect you from the sun. We also have change rooms that you can use.

YES! We have comfortable, slim-design life jackets for all of our guests to wear.

There are no bathrooms on the water! That being said, there is a bathroom available at our office you can use before and after the tour.

If you fall off, the Seadoo key will act as an emergency stop switch and will automatically stop the Seadoo. Your life jacket will keep you afloat while you get back on from the rear of the Seadoo.

Yes! No experience is required. Our staff will go over the controls and proper operation of the Seadoo. The first few minutes of your rental will be spent in a no wake zone (10km/h speed limit) where you will get a feel for the machine before you accelerate out into the open water. Want some extra support? Join one of our Vancouver Seadoo Tours where a friendly guide will be with you for the whole ride!

You don’t need to know how to swim to ride a Sea-doo. If you fall in, your lifejacket will keep you afloat while you get back on the Sea-doo. You do need to feel comfortable in and around the water with the lifejacket on so that if you do fall off you are able to confidently get back to the Sea-doo.

We offer 3 models for those renting a Seadoo in Vancouver:

  • Base Model - GTX 130HP Pro
  • Sport Model - GTI SE 170HP
