about jet ski's.  People been taken whilst being towed behind either a jet ski or small dingy. One off SA last year from memory. Fast moving water craft and noisey not likely to attract sharks.

 

But if ya fishing no different if ya were on a boat

 I'm new to jetskis, but I feel safe as houses on my new FX HO, particularly compared to the kayak I fished from previously. 

The new models are as good as 12 foot long, it's a jet powered boat, way more stable, manoverable & powerful than a 12 foot dingy!

Encountering a shark on the kayak was always a worry, but at least on the jetski I can get away quick and it has a lot of weight to it.
