Palm Jumeirah and Dubai Harbour bans Jet Ski operations

Saturday, August 7, 2021

Palm Jumeirah and Dubai Harbour have banned the operation of Jet Skis on the authority of the Dubai Maritime City Authority. Fines of up to AED500 per Jet Ski are now in place for users who disobey the new rules.

The ban has been brought in after residents complained about out-of-control jet skis near designated swimming zones. There had previously been a four-knot speed limit on the waterways around the manmade island. A  DMCA statement mentioned that in all stations jet skis are strictly prohibited inside Palm Jumeirah and Dubai Harbour areas.

It mentioned that Jet Skis should not enter the areas and offenders will be strictly penalised. It stated that all owners, agents, charters, marinas, yacht club and recreational sailing organisations shall ensure that the details of the circular are made known to the owners or persons in charge of their vessels.
