Sorry, for the record, you are required to wear a a PFD on a
Jet Ski or a vessel that falls under the definition of a Jet Ski;
Under 13 ft long as manufactured
Can exceed 20mph
Can carry no more than the operator and 1 passenger
All Jet Skis are PWCs, but not all PWCs are Jet Skis
A PWC can be a 3 seater or longer than 13 feet and is considered and registered as a boat and subject to boating laws. Therefore, PFDs must be carried but are not required to be worn. However, wearing them is a sensible choice.
