Footage of the incident shows the jet-skier riding at speed towards a boat before making a sharp turn and spraying the occupants in the face.
A teenage jet-skier is facing a string of charges after he was filmed harassing the occupants of a boat and deliberately spraying them with water off a popular Mornington Peninsula beach on Monday.
The group said he had been tailing them for some time as they sailed off Safety Beach, about 57 kilometres south of Melbourne, when he came dangerously close to the boat.“It was pretty scary,” she said. “If he could just lose control, don’t know what can happen.” And on Friday, two riders were filmed by beachgoers harassing a pod of dolphins in Port Philip Bay. The footage showed the pair riding at a slow speed very close to the animals.
The 16-year-old jet-skier rode at speed towards the boat before taking a sharp turn and spraying the occupants with water.“We need the state government and the minister to step up and make sure that the Water Police are actively resourced so that they can patrol the bay here.” At the start of 2022, there were more than 26,000 personal watercraft registered in Victoria, up 36 per cent since 2015.
