Jet Ski in New York
The jet ski tour begins in Jersey City, New Jersey. You can get there in about fifteen minutes with the Liberty Landing Ferry from Manhattan. The jet ski place is just a few minutes walk from the ferry.
When you arrive, you can change clothes, there are lockers for your belongings. You get a life jacket and you can choose to wear a wetsuit. I didn’t personally, but if it’s colder than 25 degrees I would recommend it. Don’t forget your sunscreen. Before you can sprint off you get an explanation of the dos and don’ts on the water. You can’t freestyle for example, but gearing up is definitely not a problem!
