Someone asked me if the Operators Certificate was required for any person driving a Jet ski regardless of age in State Of NY . I was under the impression it was people under 16/18 only ?

In New York, you must attend a classroom course and hold a safety certificate if:

You operate a personal watercraft, regardless of your age, in New York State.
You wish to operate a motorboat (including personal watercraft) and you are at least 10 years old and less than 18 years old.
If you are less 10 years old you may operate a motorboat (non-PWC) only if someone over 18 or someone between the ages of 10 and 18 who holds a safety certificate, is on board with you. Anyone may operate a personal watercraft if someone at least 18 years old is riding on the craft and they hold a safety certificate.
