What is required for persons 14 years of age or older to operate a PWC legally?

To operate a personal watercraft (PWC) legally, individuals 14 years of age or older typically need to complete a state-approved boating safety course and obtain a boating safety certificate. Additionally, they must comply with their state's specific regulations regarding age and supervision requirements. Some states may also require the operator to be a certain age, such as 16 or older, to operate a PWC without adult supervision. Always check local laws for precise requirements.
