Cagnes Watersports — Jet-Ski Yamaha

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.
