Water skiing or operation
of personal watercraft (PWC) can only be done between
sunrise and sunset. Persons being towed on any device
must wear a Type I, II or III personal floatation
device. Boat towing skiers, tubers, or knee boarders
must have, in addition to the driver, an observer 12
years of age or older or a wide angle rearview mirror
mounted so that the operator can check on the skier but
still give full attention to traffic ahead.
It is illegal to operate a
boat or vessel including personal watercraft, manipulate
water skis, kneeboards, tubes, or similar devices while
intoxicated or under the influence of any other substance
that impairs one’s operating ability. Kentucky law
specifically prohibits the drinking of alcoholic
beverages in public places and the waterways of this
state are considered public places.
