Answer 1

Maine law says you may operate a boat at 12 years old. PWC at 16. Here is the law.

AGE REQUIREMENTS FOR

OPERATING WATERCRAFT

When operating a motorboat with more than

10 horsepower, a person under the age of

12 must be under the immediate supervision

of a person located in the boat who is

at least 16 years of age. A person under

16 years of age may not operate personal

watercraft, which includes jet-skis. A person

between 16 & 18 years of age may operate a

personal watercraft if they have successfully

completed an approved education course,

or if they are accompanied by a person 18

years of age or older. Proof of age and

course must be possessed while operating a personal water craft
