FAQs About Boating in the Florida Keys
Do you need a license to rent a boat in Florida?
No, however, you must be at least 30 years of age. If you are under the age of 30, you cannot rent a boat in the state of Florida.
Boat rental requirements are different than personal watercraft rentals. To rent personal watercraft, like jet skis, if you were born after January 1st, 1988, you will need either a temporary boating certificate from a vendor, or you will need to complete an approved boating safety course and get a Boating Safety Education Identification Card. This is regulated by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.
How long does it take to get a Florida boating license?
Recreational boaters do not need a boating license in Florida. The only requirement is that you be at least 30 years old, which is required by the state of Florida. We are strict about having boating experience to rent one of our boats.
What is required to operate a boat in Florida?
To rent a boat in Florida, you simply need to meet the age requirement, and we also are strict about having boating experience. You will also need all the necessary safety equipment on board, which can be found here on the FWC website. Our rental boats have the required safety equipment on board.
How much does it cost to rent a boat?
Our boat rentals cost vary depending on the boat you choose. We have boats ranging from 19 to 23 feet. The cost will include the boat rental, tax fuel, and cleaning. We also provide all required safety equipment aboard all vessels.
