Jet Ski
High-speed solo or tandem rides along Side’s coastline
Duration15–30 min
Riders1–2 per ski
License neededNo
Good forConfident swimmers
Jet ski remains the most-asked-about water sport in Side. No boat license or prior experience is required — every ride starts with a safety briefing from the beach center’s instructor, then you’re free to open the throttle along a marked stretch of coastline.

Parasailing
Fly above the Mediterranean, towed gently by boat
Flight time8–12 min
RidersSolo, tandem or triple
Swimming neededNo
Max combined weight~200–220kg
You take off and land directly on the boat deck, so non-swimmers are welcome. It’s the calmest-feeling “adrenaline” activity on this list — steady, quiet, and about the view rather than the thrill of speed.

Flyboard
Hover above the water on jet-propelled boots
Duration15 min
Riders1 at a time
InstructorAlongside, in-water
Good forConfident swimmers
Side’s most photographed water sport. Most first-timers find their balance within about 10 minutes with one-on-one coaching — you don’t need prior board-sport experience, just a reasonable comfort level in open water.

Wakeboard & Water Ski
Classic towed board sports for a proper workout
Duration15 min
Riders1 at a time
Experience helpsYes, but not required
Good forConfident, fit swimmers
Towed behind a speedboat rather than a jet ski, these are the most physically demanding options on this page. Beginners typically spend the first few pulls just getting up on the board — persistence pays off fast.

Banana Boat
The classic group inflatable ride
Duration15 min
RidersUp to 6–8
Min age6 years
Good forWhole families
Everyone straddles an inflatable “banana” towed behind a boat, with the ride ending when the driver tips you into the water — it’s the single most requested family activity on the Side coastline, and specialised safety gear is provided for younger riders.

Ringo Ride
A bouncy, bumpy tow-behind tube ride
Duration15 min
Riders1–2
IntensityLower than Banana Boat
Good forKids and adults alike
A round, doughnut-shaped tube towed behind the boat — smaller and bouncier than the banana boat, so it suits solo riders or pairs who want the towable experience without needing a full group to join in.
💬 Ask Price & Availability🦈
Crazy Shark
A larger group towable built for bigger groups
Duration15 min
Riders4–6
IntensityHigher — sharp turns
Good forGroups, teens & adults
A shark-shaped inflatable built to seat a larger group, with sharper turns and bigger bounces than a Ringo. A popular choice for stag/hen groups and friend groups who want to get thrown around together rather than one at a time.

Pedal Boats & Kayaking
Self-paced, gentle time on the water
DurationBy the hour
Riders1–2 (kayak), 2–4 (pedal boat)
Instructor neededNo
Good forNon-swimmers, young kids with adult
No briefing, no instructor, no towline — just a pedal boat or kayak rented by the hour to explore the shoreline at your own pace. The easiest entry point on this list for anyone nervous about faster activities.

Speed Boat Cruise
A private, guided cruise along the coast
Duration60–90 min
GroupSmall private groups
DriverIncluded
Good forSightseeing without the adrenaline
A driven cruise rather than a self-drive rental — sit back while a local skipper takes you along the coastline. The closest thing on this page to a sightseeing tour, and an easy add-on if part of your group wants adrenaline and part wants a calmer view.
