Jet Ski Gear Checklist: Dry Bags, Cameras & Sun Care

When you’re about to explore Phuket’s islands on a Jet Ski, what you pack can make or break your day. From dry bags to waterproof cameras and reef-safe sunscreen, the right gear ensures comfort, safety, and amazing memories. Let’s go through what every rider should bring for the perfect Andaman Sea adventure.

1. Dry Bags & Waterproof Cases

Phuket’s tropical weather and open-sea riding mean one thing — you will get wet. That’s why a dry bag is the most important accessory you can have. Choose a bag between 5–10 litres, preferably roll-top with a secure buckle. A thicker material (500D PVC or higher) will handle sea spray better than a light nylon pouch.

Inside, place valuables like your phone, wallet, hotel key, and camera batteries in smaller waterproof pouches. Double-layer your phone — waterproof case + floating strap — and dry hands before opening the bag to keep droplets out.

At Love Phuket Tours, every Jet Ski tour includes a quick briefing on storing gear properly. Guides also keep spare dry bags on the support boat.

2. Cameras, GoPro & Waterproof Mounts

Phuket’s coastline is spectacular — limestone cliffs, turquoise water, hidden lagoons. Bring a GoPro or action camera with waterproof housing. Mount on your handlebar, chest harness, or helmet for hands-free capture. A wrist strap works great at photo stops.

For phones, use a floating waterproof case. Avoid cheap cases that fog; humidity can ruin shots. Carry a soft lens cloth and anti-fog wipes. If your camera supports voice control, enable it — “GoPro, start recording!” is super handy offshore.

Our guides gladly help you take photos/videos at calm, safe spots like Phae Island and Naka Noi. Always stop the engine before standing or turning for a photo.

3. Sun Protection & Clothing

UV rays reflect off the water even on cloudy days. Apply reef-safe sunscreen (SPF 50+) 20–30 minutes before departure; reapply after swimming. Choose mineral formulas (zinc oxide or titanium dioxide) to protect reefs.

Wear a long-sleeved rash guard, quick-dry board shorts/leggings, and polarized sunglasses with strap. Cotton stays wet and heavy; synthetics keep you cool. Hydrate with a refillable bottle during island stops.

4. Optional Gear for Extra Comfort

Microfiber towel — dries fast and packs tiny.
Waterproof Bluetooth speaker — soundtrack for island breaks.
Reef shoes — useful for rocky/coral beaches.
Mini first-aid kit — bandages + antiseptic wipes.
Electrolyte drink/energy bar — quick recharge after long legs.

5. Eco-Friendly Choices Matter

Use biodegradable sunscreen; avoid aerosol sprays at sea.
Bring a reusable bottle instead of single-use plastic.
Pack out all trash in your dry bag.
Never feed monkeys or marine life.

Every responsible choice helps protect the lagoons and coral gardens that make Phuket so special.
