Increase in Jetski Licences

 There’s been a 92% spike in new jetski licences in the wake of the pandemic.

That’s 9076 new jetski riders out on our waterways.

This surge in popularity of the craft has coincided with a spike in disruptive and dangerous behavior.

That’s why this weekend, NSW Maritime will be carrying out a safety blitz across all waterways in Greater Sydney.

The top five safety issues related to jetski use are:

irregular riding

speeding

unlicensed riding

not keeping a safe distance from other boats

failure to keep to the right.

We understand riding a jetski is a lot of fun, but please – cool your jets.

Help us make sure the water is a safe place for everyone.
