Jet skis in the Philippines: prices, rules and what to ask

Updated 4 November 2026

A jet ski in the Philippines costs about ₱380,000 to ₱1,400,000 to buy, depending on engine size, number of seats and whether it is new or used. Rental listings found online start near ₱28,500. For a price on the exact model you want, send a request on BlaBlaPrice.

Registration before you ride

Jet skis need to be registered. A Philippine Coast Guard memorandum found in search results says a jet ski must carry a Certificate of Number, valid for two years and renewable every two years. The Maritime Industry Authority (Marina) also issued registration and licensing rules for watercraft in 2019. Ask the seller for the current papers before you pay, and check whose name they are in.

Season in November

The climate here is tropical: hot all year, with a wet season and a dry season instead of winter and summer. November is still in the wet part of the year in many regions, so sea conditions and storms can change quickly. The drier months that follow are the more usual time for water sports. Check the forecast the day before a ride, and ask the renter what happens to your booking if the weather turns.

Delivery, units and what the price includes

Specifications are given in metric and engine terms: length in metres or feet, engine size in cc, power in horsepower or kW, and hours on the engine. Buyers in Manila, Quezon City, Makati, Cebu City and Davao City often need a trailer to move a jet ski between cities, so ask who arranges it and what it costs. Ask also whether the quoted price includes the registration fee and VAT, because listings do not always say.

Listings under about ₱5,000 are often toy or remote-controlled water models, not riding machines, so check the specifications before you compare prices.

What to put in your request

Name the model or the number of seats, the year, the engine hours, the power in horsepower or cc, and the condition. Say whether documents such as the Certificate of Number come with the machine, which city you are in and your budget in pesos. The more of this you give, the fewer questions a seller needs to ask you.
