Mississippi boating rules to know
- Every boat needs a wearable life jacket for each person on board. Kids 12 and under must wear one while underway on a boat 26 feet or less, and everyone on a jet ski or being towed must wear one.
- Anyone towing a skier, wakeboarder or tuber needs a spotter on board besides the driver. Towing isn't allowed from one hour after sunset to one hour before sunrise.
- Jet skis can only run during daylight hours in Mississippi, so plan jet ski time between sunrise and sunset.
- Keep to idle speed in posted no-wake zones and near docks, marinas and boat ramps, and watch for stumps outside the marked channels.
