Jet Ski

[jimbo]

<font class="content">Hi Everybody
Does anyone know of a Sea-Doo dealer that speaks English?
Are there any clubs or areas that allow jet skis?
I ask as I'm thinking of bringing mine with me.
Cheers

<font class="content">I cannot help re clubs, but I know jet ski's were until a couple a years ago banned here in Spain, but you can use them almost anywhere now and people do, but you do have boating channels to keep you away from swimmers, these tend to only be laid down in summer months at least around my area. Might be worth finding out if you need a "licence" to use one. I know you need such things for boating.

<font class="content">Hi Pwwn,
Thanks for info. Will ask the R.Y.A. about a licence.

<font class="content">Hi,
I've had a response from the RYA and am copying here so it might help others.

The licence required will depend on the registration on the craft. If it
is UK registered then it is likely that an ICC will be accepted. We
cannot however guarantee this as Spain have not adopted the UN
resolution under which the issue and acceptance of the ICC is
controlled. You may however find that as you are intending to be
resident in Spain, the Spanish require you to register the PWC there. If
this is the case then, their maritime regulations will stipulate what
qualification you must have to operate the craft.
Now I need to find out how to register it in Spain. Does anyone know how to go about it?
