Operated by Lake Mac Watersports · Cams Wharf, New South Wales
Lake Macquarie, on Australia’s New South Wales coast, is a sprawling coastal lagoon known for its sweeping shorelines, sheltered bays, and the abundant nature preserved on Pulbah Island, a protected reserve at its heart. It’s here at Cams Wharf that Lake Mac Watersports offers an adrenaline-packed way to experience the lake’s vast expanse—a private charter jet boat ride that combines speed, skill, and spectacular views.
Lake Mac Watersports runs the Jet Buzz experience, featuring multiple thrill ride options tailored to different appetites for adventure. The Ocean Extreme Charter runs for an hour, delivering both scenic cruising and high-power jet boat maneuvers. For a shorter adrenaline blast, the Jet Boat Blast charges the waters for 20 thrilling minutes, loaded with sharp spins, power slides, and fish-tail skids that push the limits of excitement while sweeping past Pulbah Island and iconic landmarks like Point Wolstoncroft.
Operating with the 9.5-meter "Wild Thing," powered by twin 6-liter Cummins Turbo Diesel engines and jet propulsion units pumping 1200 liters per second, the boat packs 750 horsepower, reaching up to 42 knots. This raw power coupled with highly skilled, licensed crew offers not just speed but control and safety that welcomes riders from age five and up.
Unlike many lake adventures, the Jet Buzz rides deliver a cinematic rush—water sprays, sudden turns, and the ever-changing views of mangroves, native birdlife, and the island’s rocky shorelines. The ride’s intensity means a little splash is guaranteed; waterproof gear is provided, and comfortable, weather-appropriate clothing is advised.
This operation stands unique in the Lake Macquarie outdoor scene by creatively blending natural beauty with raw marine thrills. It’s perfect for family outings, groups, or corporate days where something dynamic and memorable is needed. Positioned in the expansive waters of Australia’s largest coastal saltwater lake, the experience carves out a niche for Lake Mac Watersports as the go-to high-energy watersport provider in the region.
