4 strokes are much much better but still emit hydrocarbons that damages the very sensitive ecosysytem. Especially older 4 strokes that might for example, be using oil. I stand by my statement.

True. I don't deny what you said but jet skis and outboards aren't going away.Originally Posted by Craig123
When I got to Negril first time there were NO POWER VESSELS only canoes....
Problem is those days are gone...unless you and everybody else want to stop going to Negri and wanting water sports

Just wondering. Have a great trip. Maybe next time.

It made our trip must more pleasurable without the jetskis. Loved it.
Though I feel bad for those that made a living renting PWC, it was peaceful swimming and not having the noise and wake disrupting me......just sayin'........could have they made a 'no wake' zone....or would have it just been ignored......
I hate to see livelihoods jeopardized but it was heaven on the beach without the jet skis roaring about and hustling. I hope I am not out of line, but Gail at Treehouse suggested that they should have something like trail rides on those things. Bring them back with designated loading and unloading points, and they do "rides" in specified areas as "trail rides". With speed controls et al. Gail, sorry - but you can weigh in on this - you were passionate -about it and it sounded good to me. You just can't go hotdogging all over a crowded beach on a high-speed motorized vehicle, anymore than you can with your Trans-Am down my street (I know. Trans Am. Dating myself .... you get what I'm saying). This sounds like a really reasonable compromise!
I think this is an important issue for us tourists, and I believe Gail has some good local insights!

I am in the same boat, lol, its so nice to be on the beach with no PWC,s I could not believe how much quieter it was. I dint realize how many of them were hustling on the beach until they were gone!
Trip #59 most of February
we also really enjoyed the quiet and new vive on the beach too, not going to get into the politics of it tho
