You grip the wheel as wind and spray rearrange the morning; the hull hums and the jet car answers, peeling across the Persian Gulf toward Dubai’s skyline. The Burj Al Arab blushes on the horizon and Palm Jumeirah unfolds like a low, engineered reef — landmarks that feel closer at 60–80 km/h.

Book a morning slot
Early departures usually offer flatter seas and softer light for photos; afternoons can be choppier and hotter.
Secure loose items
Use sealed pockets or leave valuables ashore — spray and speed will send sunglasses and phones overboard quickly.
Listen to the safety briefing
Follow the instructor’s throttle and turning guidance; the car responds differently to wake and wind than a typical boat.
Check pickup details
Confirm pickup and drop-off times and locations in Abu Dhabi to avoid delays — transfers are usually included but vary by operator.
