Jet Skis
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if he will make it his policy to introduce a minimum age limit for jet ski use.
- Answer
-
The Department for Transport (DfT) does not have any current plans to introduce a minimum age limit for jet skis or other personal watercraft (PWC).
However, in January 2023, the Government introduced statutory controls to the use of PWCs with the Merchant Shipping (Watercraft) Order 2023, so that any individual using a PWC in a dangerous manner is essentially held to the same laws as ships and fishing vessels.
