Persons less than 16 years of age shall not operate a Personal Watercraft unless accompanied by someone at least 18 years of age.

Each person on a Personal Watercraft (PWC) must wear a Coast Guard approved PFD. Additionally, the operator must wear a lanyard type cut off switch provided by the manufacturer which will shut off the PWC should the operator fall off.

Personal Watercraft may only be operated between sunrise and sunset. Also, PWC must not be operated within 50 feet of another vessel (including other PWC's), platform, person, object or shore except at a speed just enough to maintain headway and steerage.

The operator of a Personal Watercraft should operate in a reasonable and prudent manner. This includes being aware of other boats in the operating area, awareness of environmental concerns and respecting the rights of shoreline property owners. The PWC operator should not follow other boats closely and should not jump the wake of other boats.
