If you’re planning to rent or ride a jet ski in Mallorca this summer, understanding the local licensing requirements is essential. Whether you’re here for a holiday or you’re a resident, knowing how to get your jet ski licence in Mallorca will ensure you enjoy your time on the water safely and legally.
Do You Need a Jet Ski Licence in Mallorca?
Yes. In Spain, riding a jet ski (PWC – Personal Watercraft) requires a licence. However, the good news is that there are options for both long-term and short-term visitors. You don’t need a full nautical licence to enjoy jet skiing in Mallorca — temporary solutions are available.
Types of Jet Ski Licences in Mallorca
1. 1-Day Jet Ski Licence (Licencia Federativa)
This is the most popular option for tourists or beginners. The one-day jet ski licence allows you to legally ride a jet ski without committing to a full course. It’s valid only under certain conditions and usually within a designated zone.
- Minimum age: 16 (with parental permission under 18)
- Duration: Approximately 3–4 hours
- Includes: Theory + practical training
- Where to get it: Accredited centres like Nauti-Parts can guide you through the process
2. PER (Patrón de Embarcación de Recreo)
This is a more comprehensive licence that allows you to drive boats up to 15 meters in length and jet skis with no power limit.
- Minimum age: 18
- Duration: Approx. 2 weeks (theory + practice)
- Validity: Permanent, valid across Spain and recognized in other EU countries
