Select participants and date
The hull chirps against the wake and the Caribbean opens like an invitation. You climb into the Moggaro 700 with the sun at your back and Basseterre’s silhouette sliding away. The captain counts down, fingers steady on the throttle, and the boat surges — a short, brutal arithmetic of speed, spray and laughter. For twenty minutes the shorelines of St. Kitts become a blur of palms, cliffs and white sand as the jetboat carves 360s and punctuates runs with dramatic plunges that send a spray into your face like a cold, salty high-five.

Arrive early and check-in
Plan to be at the wooden water-sports center near Reggae Beach Bar at least 15 minutes before departure to sign waivers and get fitted for your life vest.

Mind health restrictions
This ride isn’t recommended for pregnant travelers, or people with spinal, heart conditions or severe seasickness — notify staff if you have concerns.
Take motion-sickness preventive
If you’re prone to nausea, take medication beforehand and choose a morning slot when seas are usually calmer.
