Actually the new vibe is the old vibe. I don't remember exactly when the PWC appeared but remember I first noticed the noise & the smell. The hustle came later, at least from the aggressive salesmen. Not all are.

It's something many tourists want. That's why they're there. It's part of tourism on the water. Think FL & other states w/ water borders, lakes. Regulation & education is needed. I feel for those who have lost their livlihood as well as the investment in the PWC.

yvonne, does that mean that jet skis are operational? like now?

Jitterbug,

No, there is an island wide ban on personal water craft...

we also really enjoyed the quiet and new vive on the beach too, not going to get into the politics of it tho

Now,about those horses....

just got back, could not believe how quiet the beach was without the jet skis, horses should be next, soon come

The JA operator's costs for the initial purchase of the machines, and for consumables (gas, oil, etc.) and maintenance are likely substantially higher than in Florida.

I was on the beach last week, it felt the way it looks in pictures :)

No, they're not. What did I write that gave you that impression? I'm confused by your question. Could just be me... crazy, crazy week.

It made our trip must more pleasurable without the jetskis. Loved it.
