How to Drive a Jet Ski Part 1

A jet ski is a machine that can feel almost like a motorbike on the water. Although it might look quite similar, a jet ski isn’t really like a normal boat, with an outboard motor and a propeller. Jet skis move by shooting a strong jet of water from out of the back of the machine. The power of the water squirting backward is what pushes the jetski forward.

At Boatsetter, we connect people with owners who are renting their boats and jet skis as well. A Boatsetter rental can be a great way to try out lots of different types of jet skis. If you are trying to learn more about which type of jet ski to choose when selecting your boat rental, we are here to help you get started. You can choose from a wide range of models built by world-famous manufacturers like Kawasaki, Sea Doo, Yamaha, and Suzuki. Be sure to select an easier drive model (and has a less powerful engine) if you are only just starting to learn.

You will generally find that steering a jet ski (personal watercraft) can be as easy as steering a motorbike: you turn the handlebars to go in one direction or the other. You should know that instead of turning the front wheel, like on a motorbike or bicycle, the handlebars pull on a cable that swings the water jet to one side or the other, and this makes the whole jet ski turn at an angle. Because the power of the water jet provides the steering, jet skis steer very well when traveling at high speeds.

As in so many other areas of life, safety on the water should always come first for everybody. If you are new to jet skiing or have already ridden a few times, these tips should help keep you safe while still having fun. Check out this comprehensive guide to riding on a lake. Also, be sure to review the guidelines and boating safety rules regarding boat charter rules set out by the United States Coast Guard (USCG) and the Department of Homeland Security.

You should expect to get wet on a jet ski, even if you don’t fall in. This leads some people to wonder what they should wear while they are riding the jet ski. Generally, a bathing suit and a life jacket are good enough, but if the water or weather is a little cold, like in a place like Lake Michigan, you may prefer a wetsuit or drysuit. If you listen to your boat captain and be careful, your risk of injury is small.
