You do not need a licence to operate a jet ski within the UK. However, always remember to
refer to local guidelines and to check if a licence is necessary when you rent or drive one
when you’re abroad. Top tip: It’s always worth taking lessons before you drive a jet ski to
build up your experience before you head out on the water. The RYA (Royal Yachting
Association) provide training courses that you can sign up to, so be sure to check out their
website.
