Build Your Perfect Jet Ski Day: A Sample Itinerary for Every Style
Whether you’re an adrenaline junkie, a laid-back cruiser, or someone looking for a little bit of everything, Lake Havasu offers the perfect backdrop for your dream jet ski adventure. At London Bridge Watercraft, we know that a little planning can turn a fun ride into a full-blown, unforgettable lake day. That’s why we’ve created a few sample itineraries to match every rider’s style—so you can make the most of every minute on the water.
The Adventure Seeker’s Ride
Kick off at 8:00 AM: Arrive early to beat the heat and crowds. After a quick safety briefing and gear check at our docks, hop on your jet ski and head south toward Copper Canyon. The water’s smooth, the sun’s still gentle, and the canyon walls create a fun, echoing soundscape for fast turns and jumps.
Late Morning: Cruise up toward the famous London Bridge for some high-speed runs through the channel. Catch your breath while floating beneath the bridge, and don’t forget to snap a few action shots before continuing on your journey.
Noon: Dock at one of the lake’s waterfront restaurants, such as Barley Bros or The Blue Chair, for lunch with a view. Recharge, hydrate, and get ready for round two.
Afternoon: Explore hidden coves and inlets, or try towing a tube or wakeboard for even more adrenaline. By 3:00 PM, pull into a quiet bay for a swim or float before heading back to base.
The Relaxed Cruiser’s Getaway
9:30 AM Start: Grab your rental and set out for a calm, scenic ride. Stick close to the shoreline, where wildlife sightings are more common in the morning. Look for blue herons, ducks, and even wild burros.
Late Morning: Head toward Thompson Bay or Skiers Island and drop anchor. Use this time to sunbathe on your ski or float peacefully in the water. Pack a few snacks and enjoy a low-key picnic on your jet ski’s rear platform.
Lunchtime: Cruise to a shaded cove or dockside café for a casual meal. Then, swing by the London Bridge to people-watch and enjoy the energy of the channel.
Afternoon: End your ride with a slow return, making short stops along the way to dip your feet in the water, snap photos, or just take in the views.
The Family Fun Day
10:00 AM Start: Get the kids geared up with life jackets and head out from the marina. Stick to beginner-friendly zones where the water is calm and less crowded. Let each family member take turns (within safety limits, of course) enjoying the ride.
Midday Stop: Drop anchor at a shallow cove like Teal Point or Steamboat Cove, where little ones can splash safely near the ski. Bring along floaties and water toys for extra fun.
Lunch: Return to shore or dock at a family-friendly spot for burgers and ice cream. Don’t forget to reapply sunscreen!
Afternoon Wrap-Up: Finish the day with a mellow ride through the Bridgewater Channel or a short wildlife-spotting tour before heading back to London Bridge Watercraft.
