JET SKI , Skim Board ,& Wave Board Rentals Cabarete, Sosua
Book on Viator →Operated by Supremo Water Sports · Bookable on Viator
This is the kind of watersports rental that fits a vacation schedule. You’re not signing up for a long tour day, you’re grabbing the right gear and getting on the water fast in Cabarete/Sosua conditions.
I like that you can choose between jet skis (with seating for 2 or 3) and flatwater-style board rentals like skimboards and wave boards. I also like the family angle: there are child skimboards and wave boards in two sizes (36″ and 40″) so you can match the board to who’s riding.
One thing to consider: rates can vary by time and the listing shows which item you’re reserving. Double-check you booked the correct option before you show up, especially if you’re mixing jet ski and board time.

Key things to know before you go

- Pick your board size: wave boards come in 36″ and 40″, with the larger one big enough for an adult
- Jet ski seating is flexible: you’ll find options for 2 or 3 riders
- Fast water time: they aim for quick, efficient gear handoff so you can get on the water right away
- They bring the gear to you: you can meet at the airport area or have equipment delivered to your beach/resort/hotel
- Leash included for board riding: your rental includes a leash (important for keeping boards where you need them)
Jet skis, skimboards, and wave boards in one rental day

If you’re visiting the Dominican Republic’s north coast, Cabarete and Sosua are the obvious places to chase ocean time. And this rental setup is designed for people who want motion without a complicated plan: you choose the gear, you get it handed off or delivered, and you spend your day riding at your own pace.
The big value here is how much you can tailor the experience. One day can include a kid on a skimboard, an adult on a wave board, and even a jet ski option for whoever wants more speed. That kind of flexibility matters when you’re traveling with mixed-age groups or different skill levels.
Also, the tone from the operator is clearly hands-on. The owner stays close and watches that the experience is enjoyable, and that shows up in how helpful the staff feel in day-to-day moments. In one family-focused story, the operator even connected with the kids in a playful way (think video-game dance references), which is a small detail but a big deal when you’re trying to keep a rental day fun and low-stress.

Price and value: what that $15 per person really means
The listed price shows $15.00 per person, and booking is often made about 6 days in advance on average. But the key detail is this: rates vary by time and by which item you rent (jet ski versus wave/skim boards).
So how do you judge value? Here’s the practical way I’d look at it:
- If you only want a simple board rental for a child, the starting price can be a bargain compared to many full-day water activities.
- If you want jet ski time, you’re paying for access to a high-demand experience. Even then, the overall value can still be solid because your handoff is straightforward and the day doesn’t drag into a long multi-stop itinerary.
- You’re also not paying for private transport or an air-conditioned vehicle here. That’s not a flaw, it’s a reality check: if you need rides, plan for that separately.
Bottom line: this is good value when you book deliberately (match the time and the item you need) and when you’re comfortable arranging your own getting-there logistics.
Picking the right board: 36-inch vs 40-inch wave boards

Wave boards are where people often make the mistake of guessing. This rental gives you clearer options than many places.
You’ll see two wave board sizes:
- 36″ for smaller riders (and great for many children or lighter adults)
- 40″ for larger riders, explicitly described as big enough for an adult
For skimboards, they mention child skimboards—and that’s a huge deal because skimboarding works very differently when the board is the wrong size. A too-large board can feel awkward and heavy. A properly sized skimboard helps riders get the motion right faster.
They also include key basics with your rental:
- 1 boogie body board
- 1 leash
- 1 skimboard (as part of the equipment set)
If you’re traveling with kids, that included leash is quietly important. It’s one of those things you don’t notice until you don’t have it—board control gets safer and you spend less time chasing gear.
Jet ski time: seating for 2 or 3 and how to plan the day

Jet skis are listed as having seating for 2 or 3 people. That means you can do a flexible setup depending on your group:
- If you’ve got two adults, you can run the ride with a duo arrangement.
- If you’ve got a child who can ride safely in the set-up, a three-person seating option can keep everyone together.
One smart planning tip: because rates vary by time, decide when you want action before you finalize your reservation. If you’re mixing boards and jet ski, consider staggering who rides first. That way, someone isn’t waiting long on the shore while everyone else is out. (You’ll still keep it relaxed, just organized.)
Also, this kind of rental day works best if you don’t overstuff your schedule. The goal is to get on the water quickly and ride at your own pace. If you have tight timing for the rest of your vacation, keep that in mind.
Where you’ll meet and how the gear handoff works

The meeting point listed is Banreservas Aeropuerto Gregorio Luperón, Puerto Plata International Airport (57000, Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic), and the activity ends back at that same meeting point.
But there’s a second option that’s often the real win for travelers: they can meet you upon arrival or bring equipment to the beach, your resort, or your hotel. That delivery choice matters if you don’t want to coordinate a separate trip just to pick up boards.
Here’s how I’d think about choosing your approach:
- If you like a clean, simple start point, use the meeting point near the airport.
- If you want beach-first convenience, request delivery to your resort/hotel so you can get out the door and directly to the water.
Either way, you’re not stuck with complicated handoffs. The description emphasizes that staff will meet you when you’re renting equipment, and that you can get on the water quickly and efficiently.

What’s included with your rental: boards, leash, and optional goggles

For the equipment package, what’s explicitly included is:
- 1 boogie body board
- 1 leash
- 1 skimboard
They also offer goggles you can use with your rental upon request. That’s a practical add-on. Ocean water can be perfect for riding and also full of glare. Goggles help you see better and can make your time feel easier, especially for kids who get distracted when the water isn’t clear.
One more practical note: the listing highlights that you can send questions by email. That’s useful if you’re unsure which option matches your group (for example, whether you should book wave board versus skimboard for a particular rider).
A realistic look at the experience on the water

This is a rental format, not a structured lesson marathon. The experience is set up so you can use your time freely, and the pace is yours.
Expect this rhythm:
- You confirm the correct reservation for the item you want (wave board versus jet ski).
- You receive equipment and get instructions tied to using the gear.
- You hit the water at your own pace.
The word to remember here is efficiency. The gear setup is designed so you’re not sitting around for long explanations. It’s also designed to reduce friction for families: skimboards for children, wave boards in two sizes, and enough versatility to keep everyone from needing separate activities.
If you’re the kind of traveler who loves authentic, hands-on vacation days, this works because it’s not overly scripted. You’re in the water. You’re learning by doing. And with the included leash and the option for goggles, the basics are covered.
Good-weather dependence: plan around the conditions

The operator notes that the experience requires good weather. That’s not surprising on the ocean, but it does affect your vacation planning.
If you’re booking close to a planned beach day, I’d keep your schedule flexible. Water activities can be cancelled or adjusted when weather isn’t right, so having other activities nearby helps you keep your day from feeling ruined.
Who this rental day is best for
This fits especially well for:
- Families with kids who want board time without checking gear
- Groups where not everyone wants the same type of water activity (jet ski for some, boards for others)
- People who like a straightforward, flexible day rather than a long guided tour
It also says most travelers can participate, which generally points to a low barrier for getting started. Just remember: your main challenge is picking the right item and time so you get the experience you wanted.
The best matches are travelers who value simple access: show up, get the gear, ride, repeat.
Should you book Supremo Water Sports for Cabarete or Sosua?
I’d book this if you want a flexible watersports day with clear gear options and help that stays close. The combination of family-friendly board sizes (including child skimboards) and jet ski seating for 2 or 3 is a strong reason to choose it, especially if you’re mixing ages and interests.
Skip it (or at least plan carefully) if you hate booking items with time-based rate changes. Since the rates vary by time and the description shows what you’re reserving, you’ll want to double-check you booked the correct option before you reach the meeting point or request delivery.
