Personal Watercraft Regulations
If you're looking to operate a jet ski or other personal watercraft on the water, there are several regulations you must follow. Each person operating, riding on, or being towed behind a personal watercraft must wear an approved non-inflatable personal flotation device.
- Personal watercraft may not be operated from ½ hour after sunset to ½ hour before sunrise.
- A person must be at least 14 years of age to operate a personal watercraft in this state.
