Magnificent Cliffs --- Jet Ski free---- best snorkeling ever!

At this point, what's the earliest the jet skis 'might' return. Is the six-month ban set in stone? I would love to have no jet skis when I arrive this summer.

I'm not being negative Rob. But a law on paper is just paper. I never actually See police anywhere ?

I can only assume that this is a joke. People have posted pictures of themselves taken with the police. People have mentioned their encounters with the police. I saw at least two patrol cars pass me on my way to Firefly this morning. You must be joking....

tricky thing about those police, when u don't want to see them, they are there..... When u need em, no where to be found.... another one of life's great mysteries....

If I owned a bar on the beach. I would get together with ALL the bars/restaurant owners stores etc and creat our OWN beach security and stop waiting for the Govt.

How much would it cost each place ? Not much and they protect their investment. With respect Rob. They need more police on beach and street. I do have lots of trips there, I see little presence.

This has never been discussed? ALL these places can't chip in what? $10 per day for Long Bay security ? Four cops at $50 day? That's $200....daily,

Just have a presence. I hardly see the whites shirts also. Just saying. Lets talk solution. Quit waiting on the Govt. Isnt that why they have the "private guards?" so make private guards for Long Bay,paid for by all properties.

Is there anywhere close to Negril where one can operate jet skis 1) safely 2) legally 3) away from swimming and snorkeling areas? I have not traveled much and have not had much opportunity to ride pwc. However, I did not know it was such a problem and definitely love the thought of a much more relaxing and viral ocean life! I would like to partake in such activities, responsibly, if it is possible. Thanks!

There is not a complete ban on watercraft, the catamarans and glass bottom boats are still in operation. The ban effected only "personal water craft" commonly referred to as jet skis. This is island wide and effects both the commercial and personal owners. If you live here and own a jet ski, at present you are banned from using it.

B. Jeff, Looks like no.
