In addition to adhering to all boating laws, PWC operators have requirements specific to their vessels.
- Everyone on board a PWC while underway must wear a USCG–approved PFD of proper size and fit.
- An operator of a PWC equipped with a lanyard-type engine cut-off switch must attach the lanyard to his or her person, clothing, or PFD.
