Reckless Jetski /Tender Handling Crackdown

Following a recent fatal jetski accident in Porquerolles near St Tropez, French authorities are cracking down on tender and jetski operation in the South of France.

Captains can now be liable for any breaches of the law regarding operation of jetskis and tenders belonging to their vessel, even if he or she was not personally involved in the incident.



This means yachts operating in French waters need to be aware of penalties for speeding and reckless behaviour when crew or guests are operating tenders or jetskis to make them aware of the potential consequences.
