Florida Rules for Renting and Riding a Jet Ski
To rent a jet ski in Florida you must be 18. Anyone born on or after January 1, 1988 also needs a boater safety ID card from the FWC or a temporary certificate, and every rider who will drive shows a photo ID. These are the main rules to check before the ride.
- Age to rent: 18. Florida law (s. 327.54) bars rental companies from renting to anyone younger.
- Age to operate: 14. Operating a jet ski starts at 14 (s. 327.39). An adult 18 or older rents. Whether a rider aged 14 to 17 may drive depends on the operator, so ask us first.
- Boater safety ID. If you were born on or after January 1, 1988, bring an FWC boater safety ID card or a temporary certificate valid for 90 days (s. 327.395).
- Visitors from other states. A boating course from another state can count when it meets the national NASBLA course standard.
- Photo ID. Every rider who will drive shows a photo ID.
- Life jacket and cut-off lanyard. A U.S. Coast Guard-approved life jacket is worn on the water, and the engine cut-off lanyard stays attached to the rider.
- Daylight only. Riding is not allowed from half an hour after sunset to half an hour before sunrise.
A violation of these rules is a noncriminal infraction, and the default fine is $100. This is a summary, not legal advice. The card, the course and the temporary certificate are explained step by step in our Florida jet ski license guide, and the official rules sit on the FWC website at myfwc.com. Get your ID sorted before the date.
