Like wakeboarding, water skiing is adrenaline-fuelled activity that brings you the excitement of gliding across the water with the thrill of speed – making it an unforgettable experience for all ages and abilities.
We’ve offered inclusive water skiing for years and it’s one of the most popular and exiting activities you can try at our Beach Clubs. From beginners to pro’s we have a fantastic range of kit and ski boats and our Beach Clubs have British Water Ski and Wakeboard (BWSW) 'Accredited Ski School' status, ensuring optimum safety and superb tuition through all levels.

If you've never tried it, a Beach Club holiday is a good place to start. One of our inclusive activities, water skiing is a rush!
You typically start sitting in the water, holding onto a rope that is attached to the ski boat. Once you are ready, the boat driver gradually accelerates and as the boat picks up speed, you'll start to see what all the fuss is about as you experience the exhilaration of gliding across the water at speed.
There are various forms of water skiing, including slalom skiing, where the skier navigates a series of buoys and mono skiing - that's using one ski rather than two.
Learn to water ski on a Neilson Beach Club holiday and our brilliant team of water ski experts will help you get started with some useful top tips. There will be a bit of tuition on the ski pontoon and more pointers once you’re in the water. If you're an experienced water skier, the team will be there to help you get the most from your time on the water. All the equipment you could need is included. We have a choice of mono skis, slalom skis and children’s skis and you'll be provided with a buoyancy aid.
