If you were born on or after January 1, 1988, you must have a Florida boaters license to operate a jet ski. Anyone born before that date will just need a valid driver's license to drive. If you or someone in your group needs a Florida boaters license, most rental companies will offer them onsite for a small fee. If you need to take the test, you are urged to arrive 45 minutes to an hour in advance. If the rental company does not offer these tests on site, you will need to get one before departure at https://www.boat-ed.com/florida/. Please review the cancellation policy and restrictions before booking your rental.
