About Koh Samui Watersports
Koh Samui Watersports — operated by James Jetstar — is a beach-based watersports centre on Lamai Beach, one of the island's most popular stretches of sand on the southeast coast. Open daily from 10 am to 6 pm, the operation runs directly from the beachfront near the Red Elephant Beach Club, putting jet skis, flyboards, and towed inflatables within steps of the water's edge.
The activity menu covers both family-friendly options and high-adrenaline experiences: jet ski rental by the hour, parasailing flights over Lamai Bay, banana boat rides, flying fish inflatables, and double sofa tows for groups. On the extreme end, their flyboard, jet pack, and hoverboard sessions let thrill-seekers blast out of the water on pressurised jets — with trained operators controlling the throttle for beginners. Wakeboarding and water skiing are also available behind their dedicated tow boat.
James Jetstar has become a well-known figure on Lamai Beach, and the operation benefits from strong word-of-mouth among repeat Samui visitors. Equipment is kept in good condition, safety vests are mandatory for all activities, and the team speaks enough English to walk international guests through safety procedures confidently. It's the kind of walk-up, no-booking-required beach operation that's perfect for spontaneous afternoon fun.
