Jet-Ski Rental Safety


Frank: In and around Tampa Bay, Anna Maria Island, etc., rental Jet Skis do more damage than most other boating. They pay no attention to signs, bouys, and no-wake zones. Sea grass, mangroves and dolphins are not safe. The state and county need to address this rental to save our shoreline. A few more police patrols to stop these people would help. Thank you. Joe Anderson

Joe: Unfortunately, you are right. Rental PWC’s are a particular problem because they renters do not know our waters nor the rules for courteous operation - it’s a continuing problem. Boaters can do their part by reporting any unlawful operation to the FFWCC or the Sheriff’s Marine Patrol department. Thanks for reminding us. Best, Frank Sargeant
