Can we drive the jet ski?

It depends on the country, not the yacht. Greece, Croatia, Italy and Spain require a licence for the driver; the British Virgin Islands ban jet skis for charter guests outright.

The Bahamas and the French Riviera are more relaxed, but the captain still has the final say.

Send us any licence you hold and we will tell you what it is worth where you are going.
