When to go, and practical tips
The jet ski season in Moraira is the summer; in July and August, book a few days ahead and choose a trip in the morning if you can, when the sea is usually flattest. The same goes for water skiing and wakeboarding: flat water makes the first attempts a good deal easier.
- Wear sunglasses on a cord and put plenty of cream on: you burn faster out on the water.
- Ask beforehand what happens in strong wind or waves; a trip can then be moved.
- Do not take valuables with you on the jet ski.
The departure point for many water sports activities is the marina of Moraira, within walking distance of the centre.

Is water skiing suitable for beginners?

Yes. The bays near Moraira are relatively sheltered and have few waves in fine weather, which makes water skiing and wakeboarding quite possible. At wind force 3 or more it becomes harder; providers judge daily whether conditions are safe.
