West Virginia boating rules to know
- Every boat needs a wearable life jacket for each person on board. Children under 13 must wear one while the boat is underway unless they're below deck or in an enclosed cabin, and everyone on a jet ski or being towed must wear one.
- Towing a skier, wakeboarder or tuber isn't allowed between sunset and sunrise, and the person being towed must wear a life jacket. A jet ski towing a rider needs a rear-facing observer on board besides the driver, and we recommend a spotter on the boat too.
- Jet skis can't be operated between sunset and sunrise, and the engine cut-off lanyard must be attached to the driver.
- Keep to no-wake speed in buoyed or posted no-wake zones, and stay out of restricted areas marked near dams and power plants.
