Operating a PWC

It is illegal to operate a PWC between sunset and sunrise, even if the PWC is equipped with proper navigation lights. This does not apply to approved events such as exhibitions, races, or parades.

PWC should not be operated in a reckless or negligent manner. Examples of unsafe operation are:

• Turning a PWC sharply so as to spray another person or vessel
• Operating at a rate of speed and proximity to another vessel so that either operator must swerve at the last minute to avoid collision
• Jumping or attempting to jump the wake of another vessel within 100 feet of that vessel
