You push off a quiet marina and the fjord takes over—the water opens, cliffs lean in, and the wakes of distant boats dissolve into spray. On a Yamaha Waverunner VX you feel the sound under you and the salt air pushing forward, carving a path past waterfall-fed inlets and granite shoulders that rise steep from the shoreline.
Verified experiences and guided adventures in the surrounding area.

You push off a quiet marina and the fjord takes over—the water opens, cliffs lean in, and the wakes of distant boats dissolve into spray. On a Yamaha Waverunner VX you feel the sound under you and the salt air pushing forward, carving a path past waterfall-fed inlets and granite shoulders that rise steep from the shoreline.
Howe Sound is a glacial fjord carved during the last ice age; its steep valley walls and deep channels create dramatic currents and sheltered bays. Squamish sits at the fjord's head on traditional Sḵwx̱wú7mesh territory, a working town with outdoor roots and a marine culture shaped by logging, ferries, and fishing.
Expect to see craggy headlands, roadside waterfalls feeding into the sound, and, if you’re lucky, bald eagles or harbor seals investigating your wake. Operators provide a safety briefing, temporary vessel licensing if needed, life vests and a wetsuit—jet skiing here is as much about reading tidal flow and wind as about speed.
Practical guidance: arrive an hour early for orientation and gear, wear the required 4mm wetsuit and secure eyewear, and plan routes with the marina staff—stick to marked channels and avoid sensitive shorelines. Fuel is included only for the first quarter tank; plan to refuel or return before reserves run low. A $1,000 security hold is standard for motorized rentals. Time your outing for morning or late afternoon light when winds and boat traffic are usually lighter.
No—operators can issue a temporary boat license after a short on-site check and briefing, but bring photo ID and arrive early for processing.
The rental includes a Yamaha Waverunner VX, life jacket, safety equipment, one wetsuit rental, change rooms, lockers, and the first 1/4 tank of gas.
Yes—staff provide a safety orientation and basic handling instruction; rentals are appropriate for beginners with supervision and calm conditions.
A $1,000 security hold is placed on your card for motorized vessels; additional fuel beyond the included quarter tank is your responsibility.
