U.S. Embassy in Nassau issues security alert warning Americans against Jet Ski rentals in the Bahamas.

The U.S. Embassy in Nassau issued a security alert on June 16, 2026, urging American tourists to avoid Jet Ski rentals in the Bahamas due to fatalities, injuries, and sexual assaults linked to unlicensed operators. Ambassador Herschel Walker released a public service announcement citing specific incident data and warning that rogue operators actively solicit tourists on popular beaches. The advisory follows the August 2025 death of a U.S. service member and notes that U.S. government employees are already prohibited from using Jet Skis in the area.
