Quick answer
Yes, but you must report to the local maritime authority officer (*Capitania*) stationed at Santa Maria landing to present vessel documentation, pay the local anchorage/launching fee, and register your craft.
The practical answer
Jet skis must adhere strictly to speed limits and stay away from designated swimmer zones and coral reefs.
