Fifty Minutes of SEADOO: A Solo Jet-Ski Flash Across the St Ives Coastline.

PWC-Qualified Guidance
Each adventure is led by a PWC-qualified guide, so riders have on-water direction and safety oversight throughout the 50‑minute experience.
Coves, Caves and Coastal Landmarks
In a roughly 45‑minute run on the water you’ll explore hidden coves and caves and can be routed either northeast toward Godrevy Lighthouse and Hells Mouth or southwest toward the rugged Zennor coastline.
Included Safety Kit and Instruction
Price includes a 15‑minute tutorial and safety briefing plus a buoyancy aid and wetsuit (you may bring your own), so riders are equipped before launch.
What the day feels like
What the 50 Minutes Feels Like
Brief and intense: after a short tutorial and safety briefing you spend about 45 minutes on a single-rider SEADOO, skimming between coves and coastal features with a qualified guide setting the route and pace; operators may choose a northeasterly run toward Godrevy Lighthouse and Hells Mouth or a southwesterly route toward Zennor depending on conditions.
