Personal Watercraft Regulations

(CBS4) 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.

A person must be at least 18 years of age to rent a personal watercraft in this state.

It is unlawful for a person to knowingly allow a person under 14 years of age to operate a personal watercraft (a second-degree misdemeanor).
