So what is the age limit or ege rules for driving a jetski?

Answer 1

Well, I'm sorry to tell you this honey, but to drive a jet ski you need to have your license before.  You need to have your license to drive almost anything unless it's a go kart or fourwheelers or something else of that sort.  Other than that, I don't know what to tell you

Answer 2

U can do your RYA training wen u r 13

I no cuz ma dad owns a jetski shop

N i am 13 n did ma RYA training a few weeks ago

Hope this helps

Answer 3

Just were you think you are mature enough to handle it.

Answer 4

you need to be 16 and have a driver's license or 12 if you passed a Boater's Safety class.

You can also drive it whatever your age is but make sure you dont get caught. If you do you will get an expensive ticket.  Thats what happened to me when i was 14 and my parents weren't happy.

Are there a lot of police in your area?  If there are, then i dont think i would risk getting a ticket. If not, go for it!

Answer 5

as young as you'd like.jus dont get caught :P

Answer 6

First make sure you know how to drive and  second make sure you know how to swim and then your age will not matter anymore.........

Answer 7

Answer 8

Answer 9

Answer 10

There is no age limit.  It depend's on who own's the lake or surrounding water.

Answer 11

Well in my country the legal age for driving a jetski is 16.. but to rent the jetski and all that c**p u need an 18-year old to sign 4 u.. in case of any damage done to the jetski u know?!..but those who have their own jetskis dun realli give a sh*t.. coz no one says anythin to them.. I go to the beach and see 13 year olds driving the jetski all the time (but ofcourse the jetski is theirs..).. most importantly is that u know how to swim.. and u know how to control the jetski.. which aint that hard..

Take permission from ur dads friend 2 drive the jetski in case u ruin it =p ..
