Jetski / Personal Water Craft
Bristol's premier Jetski / PWC lake
How does Jetski / PWC work at West Country Water Park?
When and How long can I Jetski / PWC?
Our offering for the 2023/24 season is simple.
The West Country Water Park will initially limit ten jet skis on the lake at any time, with 3 in motion, so we can gauge how safe and manageable this is. For example, seven craft are stationary with 3 riding around at a time. This will be further clarified in your induction.
Sessions are charged per rider.
Passengers are allowed at an additional charge per passenger.

Which Jetskis, Personal Water Craft can be used
Stand up - Sit down - Kneelo
We would advise against using Jetski / PWC with engine sizes over 1200cc; however, we are taking a pragmatic view that riders taking passengers and or, experienced riders may enjoy our lake safely on larger craft. Our team will monitor the sessions and should anyone be deemed unsafe; our lifeguards will stop the session until the rider has left the water.
We are considering separate sessions for Stand-ups and sit down but for now have created a zone for stand-up tricksters which is separate from sit downs.
