Jet ski Information
If you're a newcomer to the excitement of jet skiing, it's important to ensure that you have been shown the basics before getting on a craft. In the UK, there are a number of water sports centres which have jet skis for hire and which offer tuition and unless you are taking your own craft. Though you will not need jet ski insurance for this, it is always worth checking that the water sport centre's own jet ski insurance will cover you.
The RYA is the UK's national body for all forms of boating and water sport, and their personal watercraft (jet ski) proficiency course, which takes only a day to complete, is recognised globally. Offering you a safe way to get started, you'll also find that you will need the certificate to launch in many harbours in this country, and is a requirement if you wish to use your jet ski abroad. Your Jet Ski insurance should generally cover you for a limited period when using it overseas.
