Family Only
After watching a couple of my son's friends jump a wake and flip my jet ski, I laid down the law - no one outside the family ever drives it again. My son, who also witnessed the event, agreed with the decision.
Most visitors don't have boater safety certificates so that makes it easy to say "no". I just ask them if they would give their car keys to someone who did not have a driver's license and if they thought their insurance company would cover them if they did and something bad happened. If they really want a ride, they can sit on the back.
Personally, I love my jet ski. It's simple and easy to take out, is highly maneuverable and can go lots of places I can't take my boat. If I just want a short, quick ride, I can be out and back before I'd even get the covers off my boat.
