Jet skis are the perfect small watercraft to enjoy a day on the water. They’re easy to drive, and can be operated in Massachusetts by those aged 12 and up, as long as they’ve received a Boating Safety Certificate. For a day of high speeds on the water and wind through your hair, check out these five wonderful jet skiing spots in the Bay State!
Get ready for the perfect jet skiing experience. Through Cape Cod Parasail and Jet Ski, you can rent jet skis for some of the best rates on the Cape! Not only that, but the Nantucket Sound is, on average, significantly warmer than Cape Cod Bay on the north side. Rent a jet ski for $125 per hour—this price includes all of your fuel, too. You just can’t beat that!
Lake Congomond is a 477-acre pond, located just off Route 168 in Southwick. It is one of a very few lakes in the state of Massachusetts that allows jet ski operation. Riding on Lake Congomond makes for a memorable day on the water.
Located in Webster, not far from the Connecticut border, Webster Lake is another Massachusetts lake that allows jet skis. Spanning 1,442 acres the cold, crystal-clear waters are perfect for this type of recreation, in addition to canoeing, kayaking and fishing. Webster Lake also goes by the name Lake Chaubunagungamaug. That’s a mouth full!
Part of Boston Harbor, Dorchester Bay features a boat ramp for easy access. Locals love launching their jet skis here and enjoying some salt water fun without traveling south to Cape Cod.
Sesuit Harbor in Dennis is among the best spots on Cape Cod from which to launch and operate a jet ski. Northside Marina is privately owned, and they charge for parking and launching. But it is well worth the unbelievably memorable experience of jet skiing on the beautiful Cape.
