by marilyncarroll
A jet ski sale between private parties is safer with a written record of who sold what, and for how much. This set of 23 jet ski bill of sale templates captures the make, model, hull identification number, price, and the names of buyer and seller.
Each template is editable in Word and available as a printable PDF for signing. Fill in the details, have both parties sign, and keep a copy. Many states require a bill of sale to register a personal watercraft, so confirm your local rules before finalizing. Choose the format you prefer and make the transfer official.
When to use this Jet Ski Bill of Sale template
- A private seller in Florida transferring a used Sea-Doo Spark to a local college student who wants to document the sale before payment to avoid disputes.
- A Florida resident selling a jet ski through Craigslist needs a legally recognized record to protect against buyer claims of misrepresentation after the transaction.
- A family selling their Yamaha jet ski to a cousin in Georgia wants a clear agreement outlining the sale price, condition, and warranty exclusions to prevent misunderstandings later.
- A jet ski dealership assistant handling private sales needs a template to quickly generate a bill of sale with all required details for buyers who prefer cash deals over financing.
Which format should I download?
Choose Word if you need to customize the template with additional clauses or adjust the layout before finalizing—it’s best for sellers who want to add personal details or state-specific disclaimers. Opt for PDF when both parties need to sign digitally or print immediately, as it preserves formatting and ensures compatibility for signatures. The PDF format also works well for emailing to the buyer for quick review and approval before the sale.

How to use this Jet Ski Bill of Sale template
What details should I include beyond the basic sale price and names?
Always include the jet ski’s make, model, year, hull identification number, and any known deficiencies or maintenance records. If the sale involves a trade-in or partial payment, note those terms clearly. Some states also require disclosing whether the jet ski is sold ‘as-is’ or with a limited warranty. Check your local laws to confirm.
Does this template cover sales tax or registration requirements?
This template documents the sale itself but does not calculate taxes or handle registration—those steps depend on your state’s boating department. Use this as a starting point to record the transaction, then consult your local DMV or tax authority for next steps. Some states require the bill of sale for registration, so keep a copy for your records.
Can I use this template if the jet ski is being sold out of state?
Yes, but confirm whether the buyer’s state requires an out-of-state bill of sale or additional disclosures. This template covers the essential details, but laws vary by state—especially for titling or emissions requirements. If the buyer is registering the jet ski in another state, they may need to provide proof of the sale, so clarify expectations upfront to avoid delays.
