Can Non-Swimmers Ride a Jet Ski?

Often yes on a calm rental — jacket on, brief done, shop told. Ocean swell and long tours are a different yes. Do not hide it at the desk.

Quick Facts

• Jacket is not optional
• Lake first
• Falling off is the moment swimming would have helped — the jacket is the backup
• Some shops will say no. That is an answer.

FAQ

**Do I have to pass a swim test?** Usually no at a rental dock. Ask.
