However, Senator Lyndon Farnham said that he would prefer that operators were properly educated and trained on how to use vessels and that he was ‘generally happy’ with existing legislation.
Currently, anyone can operate a non-commercial motorised craft up to 78.7 feet in length, provided that it is insured.
The announcement comes after Giles Corbin, a 45-year-old lawyer, had to be flown to the UK after the jet ski he was a passenger on was involved in a collision with a speedboat in St Brelade’s Bay.
The 36-year-old man piloting the speedboat was arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving.
Senator Farnham said: ‘The Harbourmaster is going to review the beach safety plan and a part of that is about ensuring that people are complying with regulations.
‘The issue is on my ministerial agenda, and we will consider introducing a licensing scheme – but I am generally happy with the current arrangements.’
The review is due to take place later this year.
