Cost of hiring jetski &/or speedboat?

[simonb 3]

Can anyone advise on the cheapest price you will be able to pay for the following:

 

A - One hour's hire of a jet ski at Jomtien (say, 2 people)

 

B - Half a day's hire of a speedboat out to one of the islands (say, 4 people)

 

Does it depend on the number of people, for example?

 

I know you have to bargain (like most things!) but I'd like to know how low the people managing these things are prepared to go

 

Thanks for any info

as far aas i remember it is 800 baht an hour for jetski, its a fixed price i think

 

as for speed boats, its 1500 to go to an island and back , u might get cheaper, thats a standard tourist price i think, i dunno about hiring a speedboat for half a day.

That's a deal compared you'll pay that, or more for 1/2 hour on jetskis in Mexico.

If you only want to go to the island you can get a ride on one of the scheduled boats that leave from the pier.

 

I think the cost is about 40 baht one way.

:P if you rent one  check the gas tank for gas. some have been known to short it a bit. but they just happen to have tow service out there for a few baht more to get you back. other wise good deal compared to south of the border beaches.  if serious for fun jontiem is a bit cheaper.  enjoy your stay, ;D ;D ;D ;D
