Like last summer, there are complaints about an illegal jet ski operator in Playa de Muro. It returned in early June and is again based at the S'Oberta pier (S'Oberta is where the Albufera Grand Canal meets the sea).

Charles Dalrymple-ChumleyNo, they are not equivalent to e-scooters, they are equivalent to high-powered super-bikes, and renting them out in a busy near-shore environments full of beach users is the same as letting unlicenced yobs rent Suzuki 750's and ride them around pedestrian precincts.
Every year there are horrific accidents, explosions and other carnage associated with these things. Compulsory courses, insurance, and strict control of area of operation is the answer..
Jet skis are the water equivalent of electric scooters. Uncontrolled, super fast and often used by the inexperienced. Like electric scooters, the authorities need to set-up rules and regs for jet skis and police their compliance. We can't have these modes of transport being used in public waters and seas without strict controls.
