Please state reason: I don't think it's good for the sea, and I don't want to hear the noise. I don't think it's safe for swimmers. It's bad enough the boats cruise close to shore and at rates of speed that don't allow them to avoid a swimmer. I had been comfortable swimming beyond the swim area ropes to snorkel and swim for a distance, specifically near the Alfred's raft... This year I was too hesitant and never went beyond the ropes because of the boats- they seemed a lot closer to shore this trip. Jet skis create a culture of fast paced adventure sports, which, in my opinion, don't have a place in Negril. Liability is a huge concern and I would never personally use jet skis, but I feel they create enough of a hazard to most people that they aren't a benefit to the tourism community.
Would you like to see jet skis operating in Negril again: No, never.
submitted my survey in favor of no jet skis
Booger I had you pegged as a jet ski rider. Where is your sense of adventure? lol.
I just know that the jet ski operations provided much needed jobs for many young Jamaican men. I agree there should be rules and regulations, nothing wrong with that. Jobs are not easy to find in Jamaica, especially good paying jobs. Hopefully, they can come to an agreement and get something worked out where all visitors can enjoy their vacation in paradise.
Sounds reasonable to me.
But I love Jet ski free Negril!

Please state reason: Can swim in safety without worry of being run over as both I and my kids have almost been on more than one occasion. Would consider vacationing somewhere else if this random unpredictable and unmonitored activity returns.
