The engine snarls, spray cuts the sun, and the harbour cliffs of Hersonissos shrink as the jet boat rockets into open bay. Within seconds the captain is threading speed, 360° spins and power stops — the sea pushes back and dares you to hold on. Salt hits the face; the island’s limestone coast flickers between cliffs and olive-sprinkled slopes.

Secure electronics
Use a waterproof case or leave electronics ashore; spray and sudden turns guarantee everything gets wet or tossed.
Know health restrictions
Not suitable for pregnant travelers or those with back or heart problems — operators enforce safety limits for a reason.
Wear proper shoes
Closed-toe, non-slip footwear helps when boarding and stepping on docks; flip-flops are a liability on a fast boat.
Book morning slots
Mornings typically have calmer seas and clearer light for photos; reserve early in summer to avoid sell-outs.
