Date of your visit Feb. 20-29, 2016
First visit or repeat guest: Repeat, our 8th time
Age group: 55-74 (60's)
Have you ever ridden a jet ski in Negril: No
Does jet ski availability play an important part of your vacation: Yes - we are unlikely to stay in a place with jet skis
Has the absence of jet skis made your vacation more or less enjoyable: More
Please state reason: My wife swims on vacations - for example, twice a day from White Sands beach to Alfred's raft. After several years of visiting Negril every winter, the number of jet skis being operated in a disrespectful, irresponsible and threatening way made us consider other options for our annual beach vacation. We did not return to Jamaica in 2015. With the jet ski ban, we did return to Negril in 2016 and it was a much better experience; once again, I felt it was safe for my wife to simply swim, without anyone zooming by very near her.
Would you like to see jet skis operating in Negril again: No. If jet skis return to Negril as they were in 2013 and 2014 we will probably not return.
I've seen most if not all his posts on jet skis and would not call it trolling. He is enthusiastic about something others detest, that's all. If he was being a troll I doubt his posts would be allowed to remain; Rob and his staff are astute about message board behavior.Originally Posted by TAH
Sounds reasonable to me.
Noise, smell, environmentally damaging....sounds like the airport I'll be leaving from on my next trip to paradise.
But I love Jet ski free Negril!
Try 'em, you might like 'em. I bet they would put a big grin across your face. I bet even TAH would smile.
Look out! Look out! Here comes one!
This last reach it was so nice to not have to worry about being hit while swimming.
I've had several near misses with these, mostly when snorkeling. This is the Bahamas but the nonsense is real: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/0...n_5650618.html

Good morning everyone. The Negril Chamber of Commerce has sent out the survey below and they are asking for feedback on the Jet Ski matter.
