NON-motorised WATER SPORTS
Muscles in the wind
On the water all your muscles are active. Whether kayaking, stand-up paddling, windsurfing or sailing with a catamaran. You will feel the energy of your body, the movement of the sea and the power of the wind. Tony and his team provide you with help and advice in our Water Sports Center, where you can borrow the non-motorised equipment free of charge*. You’ll find the centre on our main island, right opposite the Milk LAB and the Fitness Center, and it’s open to guests daily from 09.00 to 18.00 hrs.

motorised Water sports
A touch of glamour, please!
Water skiing and jet skiing – the ideal combination of glamour and action. It’s no coincidence that they feature in so many scenes in the movies – for example the unforgettable Roger Moore, who shot over the water with a jet ski as James Bond in “The Spy who Loved Me”. In Finolhu we have a wide range of motorised water sports for glamour, action and that special adrenalin kick. Here you can shoot up into the air with an X-Jet Blade, go out on a speedboat tour with Captain or simply cut a stylish figure while you water ski. Whatever you do – it’s tremendous fun!
Here you can find all the activities and get all the important information about the activities and the prices.
