Boating Safety
For anyone born on or after January 1, 1988, who will be operating a boat in Florida waters with an engine of ten (10) horsepower or more, the law requires them to complete an approved boating safety course and obtain a Florida Boating Safety ID Card. This card is not a boating license, it is a certification that the person named on the card has successfully completed the required boating safety course. The card does not expire.
Obtaining your boater safety ID card is easy. Adventure Water Sports can administer the short test and issue you an ID card on site before your rental or you can get your ID card online by clicking on the link to Florida Boat Rental License & Online Test Link. Follow the instructions and bring your ID card and drivers license with you when you come to visit us!
