Learn how to operate the machine before hopping in

It may be pretty basic but the simplicity of its appearance combined with your excitement to take the waters keep people from neglecting this. It may operate the same as a motorcycle or a snowmobile but it is still advisable to learn how to use the Jet Ski.

Wear life preservers

This is a must. Like helmets when you ride a motorcycle, the Law requires anyone who uses jet ski to wear life jackets. It doesn’t matter if you know how to swim or not. If you are going to drive or ride a jet ski, you must wear life jacket. Aside from life jacket, you should be in proper attire when riding jet ski. These are gloves, goggles, and a wet suit.

Never ride close to another watercraft

Most jet ski accidents are caused by collisions, so in order to prevent this from happening, stay at least 100 feet away from another watercraft, divers, rafts, and swimmers. Most beaches and lakes have set of rules with regards to the use of jet skis so you should know them first.

Never use the jet ski at night

You might wonder why this riding at night should be avoided. Well, here is the main reason: without proper lighting it is against the law not to mention ridiculous to attempt. Never attempt ride on pitch-black waters. You will never know if there are other watercrafts on your way and you will never know the behavior of the water at night. And another thing: in case you get in the middle of the ocean, you have to wait for the sun to rise before anyone can see you.

Never ride a jet ski without lanyard


What is a lanyard? A lanyard is a device worn around your wrist that automatically cuts the engine in case you fall from the jet ski. It will spare you from swimming back to the shore and at the same time save your machine from jetting away alone.

Be conscious on the rights of others

Never let your jet ski becomes annoying to others. In other words: be mindful that there are other people who don’t want to be destructed by the sound or the wave your jet ski is making.
