Cagnes Watersports — Yamaha Jet-Ski

Next-gen Yamaha jet-skis IFPAN certified instructors No licence from 16 years Iles de Lérins excursion
About

On Plage des Marines in Cagnes-sur-Mer — facing Nice airport, 13km from the city centre — Cagnes Watersports is one of the Nice region's most established jet-ski bases. Its strengths: next-generation Yamaha jet-skis (the market's most recent, regularly replaced), IFPAN-certified instructors (the reference training centre in Villeneuve-Loubet), and an exceptional practice area — the sea sheltered by the airport runway offers flat and stable navigation ideal for beginners and initiations.

The concept is simple: no-licence rental from age 16, supervised by a qualified instructor. You are on your own jet-ski — not seated behind someone, but alone at the controls or in pairs.

Guided Excursions

For those wanting to go further, Cagnes Watersports offers 1.5h to 2h guided excursions toward the Îles de Lérins (Sainte-Marguerite and Saint-Honorat, facing Cannes) or Saint-Jean Cap Ferrat.

Pricing

20-min session from €60. 30 min from €80. 1h from €130. Îles de Lérins excursion on request.
