About UsContact Us

Welcome to PWIA.org

Founded in 1987 as an affiliate of the National Marine Manufacturers Association, the Personal Watercraft Industry Association--representing all four U.S. personal watercraft manufacturers--was created to bring together companies that manufacture personal watercraft (PWC) in order to promote safe and responsible operation of personal watercraft and work with federal, state and local agencies which have regulatory responsibilities for recreational boating. PWIA has a simple mission: ensuring that personal watercraft and personal watercraft users are treated fairly when local, state, and federal government officials consider boating regulations. PWIA supports and actively advocates for reasonable regulations, strong enforcement of boating and navigation laws, and mandatory boating safety education for all PWC operators.

With more than 1.5 Million registered PWC in America, we’re proud that according to U.S. Coast Guard Statistics, more than 99.9% of all PWC are enjoyed accident-free each year.
