Jet Ski Rental in Cinque Terre or Sorrento

My husband and I would like to rent Jet Skis while we are in Italy this summer... either in Cinque Terre or Sorrento... any advice?

I just got back from a trip to Cinque Terre a little over a week ago, and did not see any Jet Skis, either on the water or in shops. During a trip to the the Amalfi coast(July) & the Greek Islands (April) 9 and 10 years ago, I didn't see any Jet skis either. Maybe they are an American thing (North & South America)?

We saw no jet skis in the CT - just lots of kayaks. A quieter alternative.

Wow! What did I miss? Am I guessing correctly that some respondents went off topic and asked why the heck people would want to use jet skis in the CT and Sorrento? 'cause that was my impulse.

Am I the only one who's remembering a thread not too long ago here where someone was bemoaning the fact that you can now rent jet skis in the CT? I would think Monterosso would be the most likely place, but I can't find that thread.

I'm thinking jet skis might not be welcome in CT because it's a national park. I didn't see any while I was there. If they have them, I would expect them at Monterosso or near the edges of the park on either end.

I haven't been to Sorrento so can't say.
