I had the first catamaran rental on Negril beach. One of my captains was "Love I" He almost ran over a tourist while trolling the beach in 1982.
After a meeting with the Tourist board I agreed that we would never do that again. From then on we, and the operators who came after me stuck to that agreement.
As I said earlier it's not the skis...... it's the way they were being "marketed" on the beach
