Santorini Water Sports & Jet Ski

Water sports — frequently asked questions

Do I need experience for a Santorini jet ski safari?

No. Guided jet ski safaris include a short briefing and run with an instructor leading the group, so first-timers can join. A valid driving licence is usually required.

Where are Santorini’s main water sports beaches?

Perivolos and Perissa on the black-sand south coast are the main hubs for jet ski safaris, parasailing, and other water sports.

Is parasailing in Santorini safe?

Yes. Operators use certified equipment and you take off and land from the boat. It suits most ages, and children usually fly tandem with an adult.

How long do water sports activities last?

Jet ski safaris typically run 1-2 hours. Parasailing flights are shorter — about 10-15 minutes airborne — but you spend more time at the beach base.
