Can a 5 year old ride on a jetski in MD?

In Maryland, children under the age of 16 are generally not allowed to operate a jet ski. However, a 5-year-old can ride as a passenger on a jet ski, provided they are wearing a properly fitted life jacket and the craft is operated in compliance with all safety regulations. It's important for the adult operating the jet ski to ensure the child's safety at all times. Always check local regulations, as they may vary by area and change over time.
