Creator's Key Takeaways

The US Embassy sharing a security warning telling cruise passengers to be careful when renting jet skis in Nassau and in the Bahamas.

There have been seven reports of sexual assault from jet ski operators around the Nassau cruise port the last several months.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Avoid renting jet skis from the cruise port area, Junkanoo Beach, or similar high-traffic areas in Nassau.

✓If renting jet skis, check if the company is insured and how new their equipment is.

✓Consider renting through the cruise line rather than third-party vendors for better safety and group size control.

✓If you do rent jet skis, do it early in the morning to avoid operators or other riders who may be under the influence.
