New York boating rules to know
- Every boat needs a wearable life jacket for each person on board. Children under 12 must wear one while the boat is underway unless they're in an enclosed cabin, and everyone on a jet ski or being towed must wear one. Inflatable life jackets don't count for jet skis or towing.
- Towing a skier, wakeboarder or tuber requires an observer at least 10 years old besides the driver, and towing is only allowed between sunrise and sunset.
- Jet skis can only run between sunrise and sunset, the engine cut-off lanyard must be attached to the driver, and some lakes and towns add their own jet ski limits near shore.
- Keep to 5 mph near shore, docks, rafts and anchored boats, and follow each lake's posted speed limits, often 45 mph by day and 25 mph at night.
