Of course, we’re not suggesting a child can hire a jet ski alone or ride unsupervised—but however surprising it may seem, kids can absolutely enjoy a guided tour or ride on a watercraft. Just take a look here at all the opportunities for youngsters to experience this unique adventure, always within certain limits.
- Minors must always be supervised by a responsible adult to board a jet ski, even for short circuits in controlled environments.
- Those aged 16+ may typically operate a jet ski, but only with parental or legal consent.
- Generally, non-swimmers cannot join jet ski tours—this applies doubly to children under 7, though no strict minimum age exists.
- All children riding a jet ski must wear a life jacket, regardless of swimming ability. Providers always supply this essential gear.
