FAQ

Yes, we have a team of on-site captains available, subject to their availability. You can hire a captain by clicking here, or alternatively, you can add a captain when you book your boat online or via phone call.

No, you must have prior boating experience before you can rent a boat from us. It’s for your own safety. We offer on-site tests which can be good for 30 days or you can go online and take the test for longer than 30 days. How do you gain boating experience? Well, for starters, we recommend taking a boating safety course to gain the knowledge necessary to operate a boat. The FWC has a list of boating safety courses. Many of the courses are low-cost and can be completed online. Upon passing the course you will receive an FWC-issued Boating Safety Education Identification Card. Another detail worth noting: A Boating Safety Education ID Card is required for anyone born on or after January 1, 1988, who wants to operate a boat in the state of Florida. But we recommend that every boater take a boating safety course, no matter what their age.

In Florida, there is no such thing as a “boating license”. If you were born on or after January 1, 1988, you are required to carry an FWC-issued Boating Safety Education ID Card. Click here to find out more about what the law requires and how to get your card.
