PLEASE READ BEFORE BOOKING! REQUIRED

PLEASE READ!! NEW REQUIREMENT: If you were born after 1 January, 1988 (which makes you 35 years old or younger) the State of Florida requires the driver of our boats to obtain a temporary boaters license . If you are older than that Florida does not require a boaters license. To make it very easy to get this license, we will send the exact link to the boaters test in an email when you book your trip. The test is 25 questions and is an open book test as you can use the internet to look up the answers. The test has a cost of $8 for this temporary license and is good for 90 days. Also you must be at least 18 years old to drive our boats.
