Badly behaved personal water craft (PWC) hoons are the target of a new safety education campaign this summer after statistics revealed they are offending at nearly four times the rate of other skippers in Western Australia.

Despite accounting for only 9.1 per cent of the registered recreational fleet in WA, PWC operators were responsible for 33.9 per cent of all offences in 2023-24. Further analysis of the data shows that a PWC is 3.7 times more likely to attract an offence than another registered vessel.
