Florida Personal Watercraft Basics
Operation of a personal watercraft does not require the
vocabulary of an "old salt". Knowledge of some nautical terms
will facilitate your learning the basics about your boat and
help you to understand the information required to operate
safely..
It's vital for a PWC operator to possess respect for the
environment, other boat operators, and property owners in the
area where they are boating. PWCs are regulated by the same laws
as other boats. There are additional rules
that specifically cover PWCs. It is the PWC operator's
responsibility to know and follow these regulations. Understand
what other boaters and people on the shore are expecting. The
PWC operator is rarely the only one around. Put yourself in
their shoes. How would you feel if someone passed by close and
at a high speed? It would be pretty jarring. Reckless or
inconsiderate use of PWCs has caused considerable ill will. Ride
smart, ride safe and ride with respect. Know the PWC's
capabilities and limitations as well as your own. Often boaters
develop a "false sense of mastery" causing their awareness to
lapse. A boat or PWC operator must always be prepared for
change. They must maintain a proper lookout. Watching and
listening for other watercraft or watercraft signals and
reacting to them are a key to an enjoyable and safe boating
experience. They must constantly keep a look out for obstacles
and dangers at all times. The relationship of your operating
speed and distance is a key factor in your safety and the safety
of others. Always operate your PWC or boat at a safe speed and
safe distance from others at all times. Keep a 360-degree
perspective. Don't just focus on what's in front of you.
