Jet Ski Rental Requirements

Renting a Jet Ski comes with a few stipulations. Always make sure your rental provider:

• Provides pre-rental instructions on the operation of the Jet Ski
• Displays Jet Ski information in a visible place on the Jet Ski
• Outlines the rental age requirement for rentals. Most rental operators require a valid driver’s license and won’t allow anyone under the age of 25 to ride.
• Provides proper life jackets, which are required for all Jet Ski riders.

Jet Ski Perks

So you’re in the know:

• Renting a Jet Ski in the morning is usually cheaper than an afternoon rental, when competition is stronger.
• A lesson is usually included in the rental price so you’re comfortable before you head out on your Big Bear Lake adventure.
• Big Bear Lake is teaming with trout this time of year. Grab a pole and a lure and try to catch a fish from your Jet Ski.

Keep Track of Time

There’s nothing more beautiful than watching the sun rise or set on Big Bear Lake with the reflection of the mountains hitting the surface of the lake. But be mindful of the time.

Jet Skis cannot be operated from a half hour after sunset to a half hour before sunrise because it’s too hard for boaters to see them at night. So enjoy that sunset and turn in your Jet Ski on time so you’re not charged for another full hour or whatever stipulation is listed in your rental agreement.
