Jet skis in the UAE: prices, rules and how to buy

Updated 4 November 2026

A new or used jet ski in the UAE costs roughly AED 36,000 to AED 81,000 right now, and rental listings start around AED 1,650. The exact price depends on model, year, engine hours and condition, so the quickest way to current offers is a request on BlaBlaPrice.

Dubai and Abu Dhabi rules to check

Dubai regulates the use and licensing of personal watercraft under Regulation No. (3) of 2008, so ask any seller or renter to show the licence before you ride. Riders must stay in designated zones during permitted hours, wear a life jacket and keep away from swimming areas. Dubai also introduced new rules for companies that rent out watercraft, so ask a rental operator to show that it complies. In Abu Dhabi, jet skis are banned in the waters of Saadiyat Island, and age limits apply to renting one.

When to buy and when to ride

The summer is very hot from May to September, while winter is mild from November to March. A machine bought in November can be used straight away through the best months, so this is a good time to ask for offers.

Insurance and what to put in your request

Marine sports insurance for personal watercraft in the UAE usually covers physical damage, theft and third-party liability, so compare cover before you buy. In your request, name the model, year, engine hours, condition, your budget and your city. Ask the seller to confirm what is included in the price, and whether the machine comes with its documents. Ask whether delivery covers Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman and Al Ain.

Getting offers through BlaBlaPrice is free for buyers. Describe what you need in your own words in a chat, add a photo if you have one, and BlaBlaPrice's AI asks for any missing details.
