Jet boating girls trips, scream first, sparkle later

This group is fearless in theory. Somebody shares a video of people screaming their way across the water, everyone replies ’we HAVE to’, and then the plan quietly turns back into brunch. This is the one you follow through on, with somewhere to stay for all of you.

Why the girls keep picking jet boating

Wet hair, loose lips.

The best conversations in your group never start at the table. They start after something ridiculous, when everyone’s laughing too hard to pretend.

A jet boat is ridiculous in the best way. Life jackets that flatter absolutely nobody, the first spin nobody’s ready for, and a scream that goes up in perfect unison. You climb off dripping, everyone talking at once.

Anyone who’ll scream beside you on a boat has earned the right to hear the whole story afterwards. The girls have been earning it for years. Screaming your heads off together isn’t being silly. It’s girlhood with a life jacket on.

Everybody’s hair gets ruined, and nobody cares even slightly.

What happens on a jet boating girls weekend

Spray first, then the whole night.

A jet boating girls trip with My Ultimate is a jet boat ride on the water, built into a whole girls weekend with somewhere to stay, drinks and a night out.

Into the boat. Nobody looks good.
You’re sharing the boat with whoever else was brave enough that day, and a few spins later they feel like old friends. Ponchos in Sydney; life jackets and a bright red boat on the Gold Coast.
The first spin nobody is ready for.
Hard turns across the water, spray coming over the side in sheets, the harbour or the towers along the shore turning into a blur. By the second spin nobody’s even pretending to be calm.
Drying off, all in one place.
Nobody has to drip all the way home. Your own apartment has hot showers, towels on every head, and the ride acted out on the rug in increasingly dramatic detail.
Warm, dry and a glass in hand.
Bubbly at a rooftop bar and share plates by the water in Sydney. Bubbly and share plates at a rooftop beach club, then a VIP booth at a pink neon nightclub on the Gold Coast.
The story grows by a wave.
By dinner the ride has already grown by at least one wave. By morning everyone has quietly agreed on one thing: what was said on this trip stays on this trip.

Two ways to do a jet boating girls trip

Pick your city, pick your spray.

Prices are from, per person, for a minimum of six. Accommodation can cost more on busy dates such as school holidays, so we confirm the price for your exact dates.

What kind of girls group jet boating suits

Fearless in theory. Now in practice.

It works for the friend who screams on every ride, and for the one who swears she won’t.

Two friends hugging and grinning in the apartment

The group that keeps saying ’we HAVE to’.

This time you actually do.

The adrenaline crowd.

Speed, spins and spray, with a night out still to come.

The ones who need a laugh.

Nothing resets a group like screaming in unison.

A milestone birthday.

A story everyone will tell at the next one.

Friends from different chapters.

School friends, work friends and somebody’s sister. Nothing breaks the ice like a wave over the side.

The night out people.

The ride is the warm up. The rooftop and the dance floor are still ahead.

What pairs well with jet boating

The rest of the weekend, sorted around the spray.

Every jet boating weekend already works on its own. These are the things that sit beautifully beside it, and a few of them can be added to the weekends above.

A rooftop

Warm, dry and a glass in hand, up high. Already in both weekends.

A VIP nightclub booth

Keep the adrenaline going. Already in the Gold Coast weekend, and an extra on the Sydney one.

Axe throwing

One more thing to scream about. An extra on both weekends.

Grazing at the apartment

For the drying off. An extra on both weekends.

Brunch the morning after

Mimosas and the ride retold, one wave bigger. An extra on both weekends.

A day spa session

Spray first, robes later. An extra on the Gold Coast weekend.

A topless waiter

Someone else pouring while the hair dries. An extra on the Gold Coast weekend.

A long lunch

A slow table after a fast boat. An extra on the Sydney weekend.

Go karting

More speed, on land. Its own weekend in Melbourne, Sydney and on the Gold Coast, and a jet boat ride is an extra on the Sydney one.

A boat cruise

The slower way onto the water. Its own weekend in Melbourne and on the Gold Coast.

Snorkelling

The water, but underneath it. Its own weekend in Brisbane.

Good to know before your jet boat ride

The small things the girls will ask about.

You will get wet

Spray comes over the side. In Sydney there are ponchos; either way, plan on drying off at the apartment.

The boat

A shared jet boat ride, so there may be a few other passengers. Your group will still be the loudest row.

What to bring

A hair tie, and an outfit for later waiting back at the apartment.

Photos

The life jacket selfie is mandatory. What goes on socials is the group’s call.

Booking a jet boat ride, or a whole girls weekend

Same spray, a very different weekend.

Plenty of groups book a jet boat ride and scream their heads off. Then everyone’s standing on the wharf dripping, working out who’s driving whom home to change, and the best part of the day ends in a car park.

A jet boating girls weekend with My Ultimate has the apartment, the drinks and the night out already lined up after the ride, so everyone dries off in the same place and the story gets told properly.

Somewhere to stay, already in it.Hot showers, one living room and the ride acted out on the rug.

One front door at the end of the night.Everyone heads home to the same place, hair finally dry.
