Bryant fish Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 Yeah we all complain about them but I always wanted to try one. My daughters got me a ride out of Brooklyn for my birthday last October and have finally got round to doing it today.the company that run it is great very focused on safety as you don't need a license to do it.good fun but I wouldn't be in a rush to buy one that said I wouldn't go sailing either if you want to try it out a great way to do so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noelm Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 Why don't you need a license to hire a JetSki? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryant fish Posted February 11, 2023 Author Share Posted February 11, 2023 It's part of the package with these guys not cheap but I can see why. I don't know how they get around the license thing but it is well run and obviously legal and good fun 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noelm Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 Maybe they have some kind of exemption or something, but it just sounds strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaitDropper Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 Jet Ski's Hmmmm Ironically, saw something today that tickled me fancy.. I've been up FNQ for a few weeks ( work/pleasure), walked down the main Pier in Cairns, where all the big boats are moored, Saw a sign of a company operating at the main marina. " Jet Ski Croc spotting " Well, I say, Power to them I guess.. LOL, my thrill seeking days are well behind me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebel Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 I believe if you own a registered Jetski business, you apply to the Maritime for a special license to run your business. Insurance would be high. Cheers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XD351 Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 I have nothing against the jet ski itself - just the clown riding it ! I was fishing at Swansea last week and it was jet ski alley , one tool decided to push down on the handle bars and blip the throttle , this shot a jet of water about 30m out the back of the JetSki- straight through the windscreen of a boat that was behind him . Luckily no one was hurt . Seen quite a few set up for fishing though . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
