Are there speed limits or other regulations for operating Jet Skis on Michigan waters?

Yes, Michigan boating regulations impose speed limits and other operating rules for Jet Skis and personal watercraft (PWC) on state waters. Some common regulations include:

  • Speed limits: Speed limits may be posted or enforced in designated areas, such as harbors, marinas, or congested waterways, to ensure safe operation and minimize the risk of accidents.
  • No-wake zones: No-wake zones restrict Jet Ski and PWC operators from creating wakes or excessive turbulence in designated areas, such as near docks, swim areas, or shorelines.
  • Right-of-way rules: Operators must adhere to navigation rules and yield the right-of-way to other vessels, including sailboats, powerboats, and kayaks, to prevent collisions and promote safe navigation.
