• Always be a defensive boat or jet ski driver. Be mindful that other drivers around you might not be experienced on the water.
• Remember that jet skis do not have brakes. Be careful when driving near them.
• Pay attention to posted signs. They function just as street signs do and can include instructions such as speed limits, required idle zones or restricted skiing.
• Always carry enough accessible life jackets for everyone on board the boat. Children must have appropriately sized vests. Boats more than 16 feet long must carry a throwable flotation device.
