Hold on as a high-powered jet boat carves the Mediterranean off St. Julian’s — 20 minutes of spins, sharp turns and spray that deliver a rapid adrenaline hit and a quick coastal view of Malta.
The spray hits your face before the shoreline blurs — a jet boat surges away from St. Julian’s jetty and the city’s limestone cliffs recede into a ribbon of rock and sea.

Operated by Robert Arrigo & Sons · St. Julian's, Malta
The spray hits your face before the shoreline blurs — a jet boat surges away from St. Julian’s jetty and the city’s limestone cliffs recede into a ribbon of rock and sea.
In twenty minutes the captain will coax the boat into sudden stops, razor turns and full 360° spins, the jet-drive’s raw power carving arcs across the Mediterranean. The ride puts you close to Malta’s layered coastline — Pleistocene limestone terraces that have resisted the waves for millennia — and gives a quick, energetic look at a seafaring island shaped by Phoenicians, Romans and the Knights of St. John.
Local culture centers on the sea: cafés spill onto promenades, and fishing boats share the same waters once patrolled by galleys. On clear days the horizon can show Gozo’s pale silhouette; seabirds wheel and, occasionally, dolphins shadow the wake.
Practical side: this is a short, intense experience rather than a scenic cruise. Expect to get wet, remain seated, and follow the crew’s safety briefing. Life jackets are provided and arriving 15–20 minutes early is required. The activity is not suitable for young children, pregnant guests, or people with certain medical conditions. Seasickness-prone travelers should avoid peak-spin sections.
Timing matters — mornings bring calmer seas and cooler air; late afternoon light sharpens the cliffs. Keep a waterproof phone case and secure loose items; if you want longer coastal exploration, pair this ride with a separate boat tour. For a fast, adrenaline-forward way to meet Malta’s coastline, this short jet-boat blast delivers concentrated fun with clear safety rules and unforgettable splashes.
The activity lasts 20 minutes from departure to return — a short, high-energy experience rather than an extended sightseeing cruise.
Children under 12 are not permitted; the operator enforces a minimum age for safety reasons.
Life jackets are provided for every passenger and the crew gives a safety briefing before departure.
No — people with heart problems, back issues, and pregnant women are advised not to participate due to the ride's intense maneuvers.
