Other Rules Of The Road and Things You Should Know
Basic Boating Etiquette and Guidelines You can't predict what others will do but you can be predictable to others on the water. How? By doing what is expected and knowing basic boating etiquette and guidelines. Sharp turns or maneuvers make it hard for others to avoid you or predict your movements and can make it impossible for them to avoid a collision with you. Give sailboats under sail and large commercial fishing vessels the right of way. Stay to the right when approaching an on-coming craft so that it passes on your left side. When overtaking another boat, you can pass on the right or left, but stay clear. If you are about to cross paths with another boat, the craft on the right has the right of way. Slow down to let the boat continue its course, then pass behind it. Even when you are sure you have the right of way, a good rule is to never insist on it. Always ride defensively, Why not be courteous and let the other boater pass? If your course takes you across the path of another boat, make sure that boat does not obstruct your visibility. Stay far enough behind it so you can see if other traffic is coming your way, The local regulations regarding speed limits are put there for good reason. Whether posted or not, follow the speed limit. Slow down and lower your speed in congested areas, it's just not worth the risk to go faster. Ask your Myrtle Beach Jet Ski Rental operator the speed limits before you go riding. Near shore, within 100 feet or in shallow water, go slow at an idle speed. Make no wake and observe posted no wake zones. It is always best to ride in main channels and avoid riding in shallow water. In summary, you are the one having a Myrtle Beach jet ski rental. It is your responsibility to know all state, federal and local laws pertaining to the use of a personal water craft.
