Sessions include one-on-one instruction and a generous block of actual flight time, making this a focused, high-energy water experience for those who meet the physical requirements.

THE RUSH

ZR Jetpack Adrenaline

The Jetpack delivers speed and height in a compact package: riders soar to significant heights at high speeds while strapped into a quick-release five-point safety harness—an intense, not-for-the-faint-of-heart thrill on the water.

THE SETUP

One-on-One Instruction and Industry-Standard Safety

Every session includes a certified instructor providing personalized guidance, and all necessary safety gear—helmets, industry-standard life vests, and the harness system—so each flight is closely supervised from dock to landing.

THE TIME

Dedicated Flight Blocks

Flight offerings are compact and focused: a single rider receives 40 minutes of flight time (two riders share a 90-minute session), with an additional 15–20 minute introductory lesson that is not counted in the flight-time total.

What the day feels like

What the Session Feels Like

The experience is a tight, instructor-led progression: meet at the private dock and lakeside leisure area, run through a short introductory lesson and safety fit, then climb into the harness as the jetpack is powered by a Waverunner for concentrated blocks of flight. Expect intense bursts of speed and height, followed by shoreline recovery between runs—raw, physical, and vividly memorable.
