Haraka Jet Ski Rental
Terms of rental
Last updated 8 September 2026
These terms apply to every ride you book or take with Haraka Jet Ski Rental at Nyali Beach, Mombasa. They are written to be read in two minutes. If anything is unclear, ask us before you ride.
1. Who you are dealing with
Haraka Jet Ski Rental, on the sand next to Costa Rica Chill Lounge, Nyali Beach, Mombasa, Kenya. WhatsApp and phone +254 115 696 962, email harakajet@gmail.com. The laws of Kenya apply, including the Consumer Protection Act, 2012.
2. Booking
A message on WhatsApp, an email or a call is a request. We hold the slot once we confirm it, and your ride is booked once your deposit has reached us. Walk-ups at the beach are welcome and go by availability. If the weather or the sea looks uncertain, we may ask you to check with us again on the day.
3. Prices and payment
Prices are in Kenyan shillings and are the prices shown on this website. What you pay is the ride you booked, a second rider if you bring one, and any add-on you chose. There are no hidden fees. For a booked slot we ask for a deposit of 30 per cent of the price. We send you a payment link once we have confirmed the slot, and you can pay with Visa, Mastercard or M-Pesa. You pay the rest at the beach before the ride. Walk-ups pay the full price at the beach.
4. What is included
- the riding time you booked, counted from the moment you leave the beach,
- a life jacket in your size, in adult and kids' sizes,
- a coach riding with you on a one lap, and on the ten-minute ride if that is the one you booked.
5. Riders and coaches
The ski seats two people. A coach takes one of those seats, so a coach and a second rider cannot come along at the same time.
A one lap always goes out with a coach. The ten-minute ride is offered both ways, with a coach and on your own, at the two prices shown on this website. The longer rides are yours alone, and you can bring a second rider for the surcharge shown when you book.
Before you ride without a coach, our team shows you the ski and the riding area and may ask about your experience. If we think it is safer, a coach comes along after all. You then pay no more than the price you booked.
6. Safety rules
On the water you agree to:
- wear the life jacket the whole time,
- follow the instructions of the Haraka team,
- stay inside the area we show you,
- keep a safe distance from swimmers, boats and other skis,
- never take more than two people on the ski, the coach included, and never let a child ride alone,
- not ride under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
We may stop a ride at once, without refund, if these rules are broken or if you put yourself or others in danger.
7. Who can ride
You must be fit to ride. Riders under 18 need a parent or guardian present who accepts these terms for them. Tell us before the ride about anything that could matter for your safety, for example pregnancy, heart or back problems or a recent operation. We may refuse a ride if we think it is unsafe for you or for others.
8. Weather and sea
Our team decides whether the conditions allow riding. If we cancel or shorten a ride because of the weather or the sea, you can pick another time, or you get back whatever you have already paid for the part you did not ride.
9. Changes and cancellations by you
Tell us on WhatsApp as early as you can if you cannot make it. Cancelling a request before we confirm it costs nothing. If you tell us at least one day before your slot, we move your deposit to another ride and agree the new date with you. Later than that, or if you do not show up at all, we release the slot to the next guest and keep the deposit.
10. Damage and responsibility
You are responsible for damage to the ski or the equipment that you cause by carelessness or by breaking the rules above, and for damage you cause to other people or their property. We are responsible for what the law makes us responsible for. Nothing in these terms limits our responsibility for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, or any responsibility that cannot be limited under Kenyan law.
Take nothing on the ski that cannot get wet. Personal belongings on the beach and on the water are at your own risk.
11. Photos and videos
If you book the GoPro video, we film your ride and give you the video file after the ride. We publish photos or videos of you only with your permission. How we handle them is in our privacy notice.
12. Complaints and applicable law
If something went wrong, talk to us first on WhatsApp or by email. We want to fix it. These terms are governed by the laws of Kenya, and the courts of Kenya have jurisdiction. If one part of these terms turns out to be invalid, the rest still applies.
