About the Team
Every jet ski session is operated by an active professional big wave surfing team based in Nazaré. The team surfs these waves at the highest competitive level and knows every current, channel and break point at Praia do Norte. Your safety and experience are guided by people who are in the water on the biggest days of the year, not hired tour operators.
The Big Wave Center in Nazaré harbour serves as the professional base of operations. This is where the equipment is maintained, where sessions are briefed and debriefed, and where the team prepares for the biggest waves on the planet.
What Is the Best Jet Ski Experience in Nazaré?
The Guided Jet Ski Tour is the most popular on-water experience in the Big Wave Experience lineup. It offers direct access to the big wave zone that very few visitors ever get to see from the water. At €290 on standard days, it sits between the entry-level Q&A Harbour Tour at €139 and the full Big Wave Surfer Experience at €590 which adds flat water tow-in surfing. For those who want to go even further, the Big Wave Surfer Experience is the most complete package available.
