More bad news, unfortunately... Jet Ski Accident

[captaind]

I have a good friend who has the largest jet ski and boat rental operation in St. Augustine. 20 - 25 skis on any given day.

Here are the regulations:

1. Riders must go thru a quick review of safety procedures and designated riding areas
2. Riders under 18 take a short written exam that gets then the required certification to run a watercraft
3. The rental operation must have an employee on a ski with a radio in the riding area to enforce the riding area and no wake zonesrequirements.

A bit too regulated for Jamaica?

A bit too regulated for Jamaica?

That's a loaded question!
You'll find tourists that will say it's too regulated & some tourists say it's not regulated enough.....????

It's always the same balancing act between the "capital of casual" being interpreted by the visitors as anything goes and trying to have some kind common sense regulations.

Back when I had the boats we didn't even need insurance or any sort of license. But Negril was a tenth of what it is today.
