The 2026 jet ski range now available at Nauti-Parts reflects how personal watercraft have evolved in recent years: more powerful, more specialised and designed for very different types of use. In Mallorca, however, choosing the right jet ski is rarely just about specifications or performance figures. Real conditions on the island —salt exposure, intensive summer use, crowded anchorages and long periods of winter inactivity— play a much bigger role than many owners initially expect.
Every season, we see technically excellent jet skis that are simply not well matched to how they are used around Mallorca. Choosing the right type of model from the beginning makes the difference between years of reliable enjoyment and recurring issues that could have been avoided.
Mallorca Is Not a Neutral Environment for Jet Skis
Jet skis operating around Mallorca face a unique combination of factors: constant salt in the air, high humidity even during winter, heavy summer traffic and frequent short-distance use from yachts or marinas. These conditions directly affect hull choice, engine configuration, storage needs and long-term maintenance requirements.
A model that performs perfectly in other regions may require more care —or may not be the most practical option— when used regularly around the island.
How the 2026 Sea-Doo Range Fits Different Uses in Mallorca
Within the Sea-Doo 2026 line-up available at Nauti-Parts, we see very different profiles designed for specific types of owners. Lightweight recreational models are often chosen for their simplicity and easy handling, especially by yacht owners with limited storage space or those planning short coastal rides.
Larger touring-oriented units, on the other hand, offer greater comfort, stability and capacity for passengers or equipment. These features become increasingly important during peak season in Mallorca, when sea traffic, wakes and longer days on the water place greater demands on both rider and machine.
High-performance models sit at the other end of the spectrum. They deliver impressive acceleration and handling, but they also require a more technical approach to setup, maintenance and winter care to perform reliably under Mallorca’s conditions.
Lightweight Handling vs. Stability: A Common Trade-Off
Many owners are initially drawn to lighter jet skis because they are easier to move, launch and store. In Mallorca, this can be a clear advantage for:
- yachts with limited garage space
- short outings close to shore
- occasional recreational use
However, lighter models can feel less stable in busy anchorages or during choppy afternoon conditions. For owners planning regular use during high season, hull stability and comfort often become more important than pure agility.
This balance between ease of handling and stability is one of the most common decision points we discuss with clients.
Touring and Multi-Passenger Use Require a Different Approach
Jet skis designed for touring or multi-passenger use are better suited to owners who regularly carry guests, tow water toys or spend extended time on the water. Larger hulls and deeper seating improve control and safety, particularly in variable sea states.
At the same time, these models require adequate storage space and careful seasonal preparation —especially before winter—to ensure long-term reliability.
High-Performance Models: Impressive but Demanding
Performance-oriented jet skis deliver maximum response and excitement, but they also place higher stress on components. In Mallorca, where salt exposure and seasonal inactivity are unavoidable, these models benefit greatly from:
- professional servicing
- regular inspections
- proper winterizing and indoor storage
They are an excellent choice for experienced riders who understand the importance of ongoing care.
Choosing With Long-Term Use in Mind
One of the most common mistakes is choosing a jet ski based solely on short-term expectations —a single summer, a specific trip or a momentary preference. In practice, the right choice is the one that fits:
- how the jet ski will be used most of the time
- where it will be stored
- who will ride it regularly
- how it will be maintained during winter
At Nauti-Parts, our recommendations are based on real cases we see every year, not just catalogue descriptions.
Local Expertise Makes the Difference
Selecting the right jet ski for Mallorca is not about finding the “best” model on paper, but the most appropriate one for local conditions. With the correct choice, owners benefit from better reliability, fewer maintenance issues and a smoother ownership experience season after season.
For guidance on the 2026 jet ski range, model suitability and seasonal preparation, the team at Nauti-Parts provides practical advice built on daily experience with jet skis used around the island.
