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.

pass an approved safety course
In Virginia, personal watercraft (PWC) operators must slow to a no-wake speed when approaching a sailboat within 50 feet. This regulation is designed to ensure the safety of both the sailboat and the PWC, minimizing the risk of collisions and disturbances. Adhering to this speed limit helps protect the integrity of the sailboat and the safety of its passengers.
