they pollute very little if any
much like sidestream cigarette smoke, which poses no danger to others beyond a distance of a couple of feet, the noxious smell of the jet skis isn't actually harmful to one's health unless one is very close to them. but that doesn't make it significantly less annoying.
We also enjoyed our visit without them. I was bummed the first day and found out but that quickly changed with the quieter beach. If someone wants to make money let me suggest selling cold bottled water and a coffee bar on the beach.
Tree house? How about it? Coffee bar at the bar 6:00am - 9:00am
TAH, agree with you that Jet skis have no place near the populated beaches. I would however suggest that they are not the polluters that everyone thinks. The amount of oil it takes to produce the electricity that powers Negrils air conditioners should be more of a concern than an immense fleet of Jet skis. Jaherring, quit trolling. You'll get your ride one way or another.
I live in a tourist community in So. Florida and barbeque vendors and orange juice sellers are perfectly content to do them out of a store or restaurant and not out on the streets and beaches.
I don't know if it's a matter of being perfectly content, or rather a matter of being legally required. And while it is a good thing not to have vendors in your face all day, in order to have that we lose out on the beauty of having barrel chicken vendors on the roadside. Good street food is something that is substantially and sadly lacking in more developed nations.
We have a beach house on the Florida panhandle and while there are no vendors to bug you (and no jet skis in the immediate area), the cost of food near the beach is high and the quality not nearly on a par with some good jerk.
I own a jet ski and its in Jamaica right now. I shipped it just before the ban. What do I need to do to be able to ride it when I come in Sept? Who should I contact for insurance or what ever else is needed?
I would contact the Jamaica Maritime Authority. There are a whole new set up regulations that you will need follow. That is probably the best place to start.

I wonder if they will make much of a living having to launch from a dedicated spot. For the times I have ridden the jet skis, it has almost always been a spur of the moment idea, and not something I would be inclined to travel any distance to experience.
Good point Hussyband. A new marketing strategy will need to be formulated.
Here is a photo of a Jet Ski guy swooping down on his prey!
This is a nice pic, but is that person floating inside the swimming ropes??? That's also a problem. Swimmers don't follow the rules either!! That's why the ropes are there. The jet ski's don't go into the roped off areas!!
