The Best Jet Ski Rentals in Bali
Extreme Athlete and DJ Alex Hayes on a Saltwater Cowboys Jet Ski in Uluwatu
Bali is an incredible island and we believe the best way to explore her is by jet ski. In another post we will address why jet skis are changing Bali tourism. In this post we will point you toward the best jet ski rentals in Bali. There are many rental companies. Especially in the Benoa area. We recommend staying away from the Benoa companies. Instead, go with companies who will take you off the beaten path, away from the crowded dirty water of Serengan, and into clean open spaces and along Bali’s greatest stretches of coastline.
Our top three companies are:
#1: Saltwater Cowboys in Uluwatu
Why?
The Saltwater Cowboys (check out their website) have a floating hotel, beach club, and watersports center anchored off the beach of Padang Padang. They are the only jet ski rental company in Uluwatu area. They have a fleet of jet skis that operate daily all over Bali and connect to the surrounding islands of Java, Nusa Lembongan, Nusa Penida, and Lombok.
They are our #1 pick because they have new Yamaha skis and primarily use their skis for hosting professional surfers on their ship in Uluwatu. These guys know the waters of Bali better than anyone. Whether you want to rent skis for surfing or just for exploring, they are the most knowledgeable about the ocean in general.
A lot of pro athletes and celebrities frequent the SALTWATER COWBOYS ship, so if you rent from them, you never know who you will run into.

#2: Bali Amarta Watersports in Kuta
Though based in Kuta, most of the tour starts in Sanur, which gives them an edge because Sanur is less crowded than Benoa Beach. The tours go from Sanur to Uluwatu, Mangrove, Nusa Penida, Jimbaran, and Candidasa.
We recommend Bali Amarta Watersports because they have well serviced skis and professional guides. If you are looking for a safe and simple tour, they are the best.

#3: Prestige in Kuta/Sanur
Operating seven fleets, Prestige runs two bases from Sanur and Kuta. They have several packages for you to consider, from Kuta to Canggu, Uluwatu, Nusa Dua, and Sanur. Also, you can choose to ride the fleet yourself or with a partner.
We recommend Prestige because they carry new SeaDoo jet skis. While we prefer Yamaha over SeaDoo, their skis are new and serviced regularly by professionals, and their guides are professional.
