It depends on the state- In Michigan, you must be at least 13 years of age and hold a state issued boating safety certificate (or its equivalent) in order to operate a personal watercraft without a legal operator of 18 years of age. However, operators aged under 12 years without a boating safety certificate, may continue to operate a personal watercraft as long as they are accompanied by legal operator at least 18 years of age on another personal watercraft within 500 feet.
