A. In New Mexico there is a minimum age requirement for operating a motor powered vessel. The minimum age is 13 years old. Further in the state of New Mexico, a parent or guardian, or a person at least 18 years of age designated by the parent or guardian must be present on the vessel while a minor is operating the vessel. Moreover there is also a minimum age requirement of 13 years old, for those who wish to operate a Personal Watercraft (PWC) also must be accompanied by an adult while operating a PWC. No one under the age of 16 may rent a personal watercraft.
