KEEP A SAFE SPEED

Travel at a safe speed, taking into account the boat traffic in the area, weather conditions and when visibility is limited
​You must not exceed a speed of 5 knots (a fast walking speed) if you are:

• within 200m of the shore
• within 200m of any structure
• within 200m of a boat displaying a diver’s flag
• within 50m of any other boat
• within 50m of a person swimming
• on a power boat if any person has any part of their body outside the rails or edge of the deck.

You must be over 15 years old to operate any water craft capable of exceeding 10 knots, unless there is close supervision by an older person who is constantly within reach of the controls.

Always check the effect of your wake
​You must not create a wake that causes unnecessary danger to other boats or people.
