Personal Water Craft, PWC, must follow the same rules as other motorboats.
All vessels in the US are required to follow the Inland Rules when operating in waters specified by the Secretary. Unless operating outside of COLREGS demarcation lines. Other countries follow their own maritime navigation rules and if not abide by the International Rules (72 COLREGS). For US Inland Rules and International Rules of the Road (All Countries ratifying the treaty). Please refer to the link below.
In the United States, rules and regulations for boating, including PWCs, vary by state. You need to check with the agency that regulates boating in each state. You can easily check multiple states at a time by going to takemefishing.org and go to the boating catagory. It will bring you diectly to the agency.

Boating regulations vary from state to state, so it is important to check the regulations within the state that you are boating. Many states allow you to have PFDs accessible but not worn when boating, kayaking and/or canoeing. Most Inflatable PFDs are US Coast Guard approved - the same as non-inflatables. Therefore, you will probably only hear that you have to wear/not wear USCG approved vests. However, most boating deaths can be attributed to the boater, kayaker, etc. not wearing their PFD/Life Vest. Inflatable PFDs are designed to be lightweight and convenient to wear - that is to encourage you to wear the vest at all times. It is extremely difficult to put on a PFD when you are already in the water, if in fact, you can access - get to your vest - once you have already entered the water. Inflatable PFDs are now coming in attractive colors, to also encourage you to wear them.
