Operate at no wake speed
When operating a personal watercraft (PWC) at greater than no-wake speed, you must stay at least 100 feet away from nonmotorized vessels, such as canoes or kayaks, and anchored vessels. This distance helps ensure the safety of those on board and minimizes potential hazards caused by wakes. Always be aware of local regulations, as some areas may have specific distance requirements.
