More than a ride. A proper rush.
Arro Jet Classic is our 30-minute Gold Coast jet boat experience built for maximum action in a shorter format. Departing from Main Beach, you head straight into the Broadwater high-speed zone for spins, slides, sharp turns and Gold Coast views, with free parking at the Sea World Marine Precinct.

Good to know
How long is the Arro Jet Classic Experience?
The Classic Experience runs for 30 minutes, with guests asked to check in 15 minutes before departure. I would update the second half of this answer once you confirm exactly how the briefing is counted within that 30-minute duration.
What happens on the Arro Jet Classic ride?
Classic combines high-speed turns, slides, full-circle spins and Gold Coast Broadwater scenery. Arro departs from Main Beach close to the high-speed zone, so the experience is designed to get into the action quickly.
Is the Classic Experience good for first-time jet boat riders?
Yes. Classic is a good option for first-time riders because it delivers the core Arro experience in a shorter format. You still get speed, spins, spray and Broadwater scenery without choosing the longer Signature experience.
What is the difference between Arro Jet Classic and Signature?
Classic is the 30-minute experience, while Signature runs for 45 minutes. Signature gives you more time for Broadwater scenery and high-energy manoeuvres, while Classic is designed as a shorter, fast-paced hit of Arro.
Does the Classic Experience include 360-degree spins?
Yes. Arro's purpose-built jet boats perform 360-degree spins along with slides, turns and other high-speed manoeuvres, subject to conditions and the pilot's judgement on the day.
Where does the Classic jet boat ride depart from?
The Classic Experience departs from the Sea World Cruises Terminal, Seaworld Drive, Main Beach QLD 4217. Complimentary parking is available in the Sea World car park.
Can children ride the Arro Jet Classic?
Children can ride if they meet Arro's participation requirements. Guests must be at least 5 years old and 120 cm tall, and children must be accompanied by an adult.
Will I get wet?
Yes - getting splashed is part of the fun. Wear comfortable clothing and footwear, and bring a towel and a change of clothes.
What should I wear on the Classic Experience?
Wear comfortable clothing and footwear that you do not mind getting splashed. Bring a towel and consider a change of clothes if you have plans immediately after the ride.
Can I take my phone or camera on the jet boat?
Handheld phones and cameras are not permitted during the ride. Head-mounted action cameras may be allowed at the pilot's discretion, so check with the crew before boarding.
Do I need a Sea World ticket for the Classic Experience?
No. Arro Jet operates from the Sea World Cruises Terminal, which is separate from the theme park. You can access the terminal and free parking without Sea World admission.
