Navigation Rules
Your PWC is classified as a Class A inboard
boat. Because of this, you need to know and
obey the rules of the waterway. They're like
traffic rules, and establish who has the right-
of-way on the water. These rules are used
internationally and are enforced by the U.S.
Coast Guard and other local agencies.

Basic Operation & Riding
The information in this section provides the
basic rules. We highly recommend that you
get more information about navigation from
your state when you register your personal
watercraft. Take a boat handling and
seamanship course from the Coast Guard
Auxiliary, the U. S. Power Squadron, or a
volunteer organization. These groups can
provide you with detailed training on
navigation rules and other important
information.
