Choosing the Right Jet Ski Accessories: Towables, Dry Bags & More
Jet skiing on Lake Havasu already offers plenty of thrills, but with the right accessories, your day on the water can go from fun to unforgettable. Whether you’re riding solo, towing your friends, or just looking to keep your gear safe and dry, choosing the right accessories can boost both your comfort and your experience.
At London Bridge Watercraft, we see all kinds of riders—from first-timers to weekend warriors—and we’re often asked what gear is worth bringing along or renting. Here’s our guide to the must-have jet ski accessories that will elevate your Lake Havasu adventure.
1. Towables: Big Fun Behind the Ski
If you’re planning to pull friends or family on a tube, a towable is one of the most exciting accessories you can add.
What to Look For:
Size and weight rating: Make sure the towable can support your group’s weight safely.
Handles and seating: Comfort and grip are key for longer rides.
Durability: Lake Havasu’s sun and water can wear out cheap materials fast—go for reinforced PVC or nylon.
Pro Tip:
Many jet skis are powerful enough to tow, but always check the model’s specs to make sure it’s tow-capable. Our team can help match you with the right setup and rope length for safety.
2. Dry Bags: Keep Your Gear Safe
Your phone, wallet, sunscreen, and snacks need protection from water and waves. A quality dry bag is a must-have for any jet ski outing.
What to Look For:
Waterproof rating: Look for roll-top closures and welded seams for maximum protection.
Size: Small bags (5-10L) are perfect for essentials, while larger ones (20L+) can store towels or extra clothes.
Attachment options: Make sure it has clips or straps so you can secure it to the ski.
Why It Matters:
Even light spray or tipping over can ruin your gear. A dry bag ensures your essentials stay dry, float, and remain easy to find.
3. Action Camera Mounts: Capture the Ride
Want to relive your high-speed turns or tubing runs later? Bring along an action camera with a PWC mount to film your ride.
Recommended Mount Types:
Handlebar mounts
Suction cup mounts
Helmet or chest mounts (if you’re riding solo)
Just remember: always double-check your camera is secure and waterproof before heading out.
4. Jet Ski Anchor: For Floating Breaks
Taking a break at Copper Canyon or pulling up to a quiet cove? A PWC anchor helps you stay in place without drifting into swimmers or rocks.
Lightweight Options:
Sand anchors: Ideal for shallow shorelines.
Folding grapnel anchors: Great for deeper water with rocky bottoms.
We recommend pairing your anchor with a PWC-friendly rope and float marker for visibility.
5. Extra Storage Accessories
Some jet skis come with storage compartments, but you can always add:
Tank bags or seat pouches for easy-access items
Coolers made for PWCs (perfect for drinks and snacks)
Waterproof phone cases with lanyards
These extras keep your trip organized and your hands free.
Bonus: Safety Gear Is a Must
Even though it’s not as flashy as a GoPro, safety equipment is the most important “accessory” you can have on your ride:
U.S. Coast Guard–approved life jackets for each rider
Whistle or sound signal device
Fire extinguisher (we include this in every rental)
Emergency lanyard kill switch (we’ll show you how to use it)
We provide safety gear with every rental—but if you’re bringing your own, make sure it meets Arizona boating regulations.
Final Thoughts
Choosing the right jet ski accessories can turn your basic ride into a full-on day of water-fueled adventure. From towing tubes to securing your snacks, these add-ons aren’t just nice to have—they’re smart ways to ride longer, safer, and with a lot more fun.
