About
JetScoot at Port Forum is Barcelona's answer for families with older kids and teens who've exhausted the standard sightseeing options and want something with an actual adrenaline hit. Located at the Port Forum area — slightly east of the city center but offering calmer, more open waters — JetScoot offers jet ski rentals, parasailing, and boat hire that push well beyond the typical family activity.
Parasailing over the Barcelona coastline is genuinely breathtaking — harness in, get lifted hundreds of feet above the Mediterranean, and look out over a coastline that includes the entire city skyline and the mountains beyond it. Teens who are even slightly adventurous will absolutely love it. Jet ski rentals offer a different kind of thrill: speed, spray, and the feeling of total freedom on open water.
Adults drive while kids ride as passengers on most rental configurations.
Age and weight minimums apply to most activities, so check requirements carefully when booking — these aren't activities for younger children. Tweens (12+) who meet the requirements are usually eligible for parasailing with a parent's permission. Families can combine both activities into a 2-3 hour session that covers both adrenaline experiences.
The Port Forum location has waterfront dining for a post-adventure meal. Bring waterproof sunscreen, secure footwear, and a change of dry clothes. Book in advance for summer visits — this is peak-season territory.
