My question is a general rental question. I have my boater's Safety certificate but my children do not. I am told that they can take a quick course and be certified for a 14 day period. When renting a jet ski I am told you have to be 18. Does this mean that 15 and 16 year olds cannot operate a jet ski in lake winnapausaki if they are not 18? In other words can I legally rent a jet ski and let my "certified" 16 yr old operate it? Any advice or clarification would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

15 year olds cannot operate a jet ski legally. A certified 16 year old can legally, but its up to the rental company and the details of their contract if it is allowed. My guess for liability reasons is no.
