to operate a jet ski in brazil many requirements must be met - an extensive detailing on this can be found in the transportation section of the site (link to transportation, boats, jet skis). these requirements include the driver must be 18 years of age or older, have a boating license authorized by the brazilian navy, and use a life jacket suitable for their body size.

most importantly, to avert accidents, it is illegal to use a jet ski within 200 meters of the shore - because of these regulations it is not common to see jet skis in copacabana or ipanema. for rentals, purchases, events, photos and much more information individuals can check out jet barra or jet mix's websites.
