Avoid congregating with other PWC operators near shore
Don't congregate with other PWC operators near shore.
Control speed, noise &wake
PWC operators can minimize disturbing others by avoiding high speeds near shorelines, docks, and other boaters. Keeping a safe distance from other watercraft and obeying no-wake zones can also help reduce noise and disruption caused by the PWC. Additionally, being aware of their surroundings and practicing good etiquette, such as yielding to non-motorized vessels and reducing noise levels, can improve the overall boating experience for everyone.

Vary the opperating area and avoid repeating the same manuever
PWC operators can minimize disturbance to other boaters by maintaining a safe distance from the shore and other vessels, adhering to posted speed limits, and avoiding areas known for high recreational use. They should also practice responsible riding techniques, such as reducing speed near populated areas and using quieter, more efficient models. Additionally, operators can choose to ride during off-peak hours to lessen noise and disruption. Finally, being mindful of wake and turbulence can help protect shorelines and enhance the experience for everyone on the water.
When operating a Personal Watercraft (PWC), a blind spot can be created by the PWC's low profile and the positioning of the rider, especially if they are leaning forward or in a seated position. Additionally, the PWC's design may obstruct the view of other vessels, particularly smaller boats or those with higher freeboards. Excessive speed or abrupt maneuvers can also contribute to creating blind spots, making it difficult for other operators to see the PWC. Always maintain a safe distance from other vessels and be aware of your surroundings to minimize the risk of collisions.
