Jet-Powered Water Sports for Superyachts
Jetboards are jet-propelled surfboards that deliver exhilarating performance through either electric batteries or petrol engines. These compact yet powerful boards offer superior speed and agility compared to traditional water toys, making them ideal for guests seeking adrenaline-fueled entertainment in open water.
The Awake Ravik series and Jetsurf platforms have revolutionized superyacht water sports by combining portability with professional-grade performance. Electric options like the Jetsurf Electric II provide silent operation and eco-friendly propulsion, while petrol-powered models deliver raw power for maximum speed and extended range. These boards are compact enough to launch from tender platforms, versatile enough to operate in varied sea conditions, and thrilling enough to captivate the most adventurous yacht guests.
Common superyacht deployments include guests enjoying speed-focused water sports during Mediterranean and Caribbean cruises, crew team-building activities, and personalized adventure experiences. Typical setups involve 1-2 boards with spare batteries or fuel canisters to ensure uninterrupted entertainment throughout the season.

Frequently Asked Questions
How fast do jetboards go?

Awake Ravik boards offer intermediate performance around 35-40 mph (56-64 km/h) with excellent stability.
Can beginners ride jetboards?

Most first-time riders can achieve basic proficiency within their initial session. Professional crew training is available to maximize guest safety and enjoyment.

Electric jetboard batteries typically provide 60-90 minutes of continuous riding, depending on speed, water conditions, and rider weight. The Jetsurf Electric II can achieve extended range with conservative throttle use. Having multiple battery packs ensures continuous availability throughout the day.
What about petrol jetboard fuel consumption?
