New York law prohibits reckless operation of a vessel.
Reckless Operation of a vessel is that which unreasonably interferes with the free and proper use of the navigable waters of the state or unreasonably endangers any other vessel or person.
Also: As an owner of a vessel, you may be held liable for the unlawful operation of your vessel by others.
Please take a moment before heading out on the water to mention safety and remember that ALL PWC operators (regardless of age) are required to have a NYS boating safety certificate with them while operating a PWC.
