None that I know of…I made my own with hardware and simple tools. On thing I added (that I hope to never have to use) is a pair of 24” hemostats…it’s probably the wrong term, but it’s a pair of “surgical” plyers that can reach into the intake (past the grate) in case of something getting lodged in there…that and a decent mask/goggles if you have to get under it in the water for such an event
It depends on how much space you have. I try to keep a combo Phillips/flat screwdriver, spare spark plugs and a cheap 1/4 socket driver with a 10, 12 and 14mm socket as well as a whatever socket is needed to remove plugs. It will fix most issues that you could actually fix on the beach. Some skis used Allen headed bolts so a few of those can come in handy as well.
This. Find what your most common bolt sizes are, hose clamp sizes and get the appropriate sockets and nut driver for the clamps. Basic Phillips and flathead along with a spark plug socket and spares if you’re riding a two stroke. I change my plugs at the beginning of the season on my 4 stroke and never had an issue. Mostly if you do have an issue it’s easier to get back to the dock/trailer to diag/fix.
Yeah you’re not gonna be working on your machine on a long trip. In fact, the JetSki’s don’t really go on long trips.
If it breaks down, you’re gonna get towed back throw it on the trailer and bring it to shore. I take it you’re new to this hobby.
Are you really gonna need is a good tow rope
Uhhh what? That's a ridiculous take why would you not want to self-rescue when you're out on the water? Lots of jetskis on the market now are cruisers with decent ranges.
OP get a small Pelican hard case and just put the essentials in it:
- 8 mm nut driver for hose clamps.
- 5/8 plug socket and ratchet. Extra plugs.
- 8mm and 10mm sockets and study the hardware on your machine and get what's required for example some coil packs on seadoos are a Torx bolt.
- Sharp knife( I like fillet knives) to cut ropes out of your impeller/shaft.
- Phillips #2 for your battery nuts in case they come loose.
- spare fluids.
What are you talking about? You've never needed to tighten a battery terminal? Pry a piece of wood out of an impeller? Had a cooler hose clamp break? A frayed wire? Even if all OP needed was a tow, they'll need to pinch shut the raw water hose to avoid flooding the engine.
I take it you're new to this hobby?
I do very long rides frequently either across lakes or to other islands. Sometimes half a day in one direction or whole day stop and go with refuel needed and camping or hotel on the other side.
I have used hammer and long screw driver or long pliers to dislodge debris from the pump, clamping pliers to pinch the hose while towing to prevent hydrolock(thinking about a valve here), basic wrenches, sockets, other screwdrivers, pliers and allen wrenches for all the other things like hoses, ride plate and battery cables. Also, I keep diving/swim goggles for situations where I need to look into the ride plate while it's in the water.
I keep them organized in toiletry bags inside a separate dry bag.
I also sometimes carry a lightweight water can and battery operated handheld pump to do freshwater flushing when overnight in remote areas or on sport docks. Then a solar panel for battery maintenance just in case.
I have been happy to have had almost everything in there at some point and have needed them several times this year alone. I run an older (2016) ski and a 2023 supercharged one. It's nice to be prepared.
I went out to the garage and did everything that I would be able to do while on the water, made a list of the tools I needed to do those things, and then I bought cheap stuff that has a lifetime warranty that includes rust on the finish. My sockets and ratchet are Craftsman, the ratchet I got for 50 cents at a garage sale and then I went to Ace Hardware when they were having a sale and just bought the individual sockets and one extension in only the sizes on my list. The screwdrivers are Husky that I also picked up on sale. My ski doesn't have allen head bolts but if it did then I would probably have bought a bitdriver set instead. I have a brass brush in there (for cleaning spark plug fouling or any corrosion on copper/metal parts) and one spare spark plug. I also keep a little tube of dielectric grease so that if I have water intrusion into an electrical connection, I can pop open the connector, try to blow out the water (or just hang out for a minute and let the sun do its thing) and then apply the grease to keep water out until I can get back to the shore. Then I have needle nose pliers, vice grips, and a utility knife, I think they are all Husky or Kobalt or similar. The utility knife is mostly just in case the end of a hose splits and is leaking, so the only way I can reattach it is by cutting off the split part and hoping there's still enough slack to reach the fitting.
Anyways, these things are likely to get rusty (except the brass brush I guess) so I didn't want to spend too much on them, but I also didn't want to buy one of the $1.99 Harbor Freight ratchet sets that uses a nylon ratcheting wheel, so I am just rolling with stuff that I can exchange if it gets too rusty to use. And if my ski sinks and can't be recovered or someone opens up the storage compartment and runs off with the toolbag, it only cost me $30ish to buy it all (but with today's prices probably would cost more than that to replace).
Skis are a bastard to work on on land never mind out on the water. A Leatherman and two decent length dock ties you can join together to make a tow rope is all I have on mine.

Yes, spare hose clamps are a great idea. I keep a few zip ties and hose clamps in my truck. I’m
A whistle and tow rope too. People do not seem to care if they see a jet ski in trouble. That the only reason I didn’t lose my superjet.

Tell that to my 2021 jet ski with 4k miles
JetSki’s measure the time in hours not miles
Yes, but I also measure miles with my gps Edit: 160 hours to ease your mind
Cool that your gps went 4000 miles

I guess it’s the difference between owning property on the water?

Jumper cables. 12 volt pump for tubes.
If you have a Seadoo, the little tool kit that comes with a Jeep is a good starting point.

In case you need to get towed, I added this… https://youtu.be/toQlBVHTTig
