RENTING A BOAT : SAFETY FIRST
Be familiar with the boating rules and regulations in the state of Florida – you can find these online. You can also consider taking a boating safety course before hitting the water. This will give you the confidence and skills you need to operate a boat safely.
Rental Boat Licenses and Regulations
Anyone looking to rent a boat or charter a captain in the state of Florida should be aware of the rental boat licenses and regulations set forth by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC). All operators are required to have a valid license, which allows them to carry anywhere from 4 to 11 customers on board, depending on the type of charter boat license they have.
In addition, Florida law requires anyone born on or after Jan. 1, 1988 to successfully complete an approved boating safety course and obtain a Boating Safety Education Identification card before operating a vessel. You can usually take a boating safety course . Once you’ve completed the course, you’ll need to take a short test and submit your application to the FWC. After that, you’ll be ready to hit the open water!
By following these simple regulations, you can ensure a safe and enjoyable experience out on the water.
What Safety Equipment is Provided?
Before you rent a boat, we will make sure to provide you with a tour of the vessel and points out all of the safety equipment. This includes life jackets, fire extinguishers, and flares. Make sure that you know where this equipment is located and how to use it before you set out on your trip. It’s also important to ensure that everyone on board is wearing a life jacket.
Children are required by law to wear life jackets at all times, so be sure to adjust them properly before setting sail. By following these simple safety tips, you can help keep your boat rental experience enjoyable and safe for everyone involved.
PAPERWORK
First, make sure you have a valid driver’s license. You’ll need this to rent a boat.
Rental Agreement
When you’re looking to rent a boat for the day, it’s important to take a close look at the rental agreement before signing on the dotted line. You’ll want to make sure you’re aware of all the details before setting sail.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Our boats have a limit on how far, how fast you can travel from the dock. You can rent tow tubes, knee boards or skis.
Arrive early to enjoy fully your day on the water !The rental period begins at 9.30 am and need to be returned before 4.30 pm, and you are expected to return the vessel as clean as you found it.
You will be responsible for paying for the repairs if you damage the boat and you will be asking to leave a deposit that will be returned after the boat inspection. To avoid any surprises, be sure to ask about weather-related cancellations because the wind can sometimes be an issue on the river.
TRACKING APP
A tracking application will be offered to download, and we encourage all our customers to do it : you will find the zone of boating, the points of interests, restaurants with a deck, public toilets, and more than that, if you have a problem we can be there faster because we will know where to find you quickly! Imagine being stranded on a sandback, and describing where you are … :“ I can see trees, water, houses! “
Insurance coverage
If you’re renting a boat, it’s important to know that you are responsible for any damages that happens to the boat. That is why we will insist that you be careful and respect the safety rules and speed limits.
It can be worth contacting your own insurance company to see if you have any insurance coverage under your policy. This way, you can be sure you’re covered in case of an accident. And, if you’re planning to rent a boat regularly, it might be worth getting a policy that specifically covers rentals. That way, you can relax and enjoy your time on the water, knowing that you’re covered no matter what happens.
Most people are aware that their personal automobile insurance doesn’t cover them when they’re driving a rental car. It is the same with a boat rental.
Perform a Rental Check
You’re finally going on that long-awaited boating trip. But before you can set sail, there’s one more thing to take care of: the rental check. Make sure to do a thorough inspection of the boat before you sign anything, and outline any damage in the agreement. This way, you won’t be held responsible for any pre-existing damage. Look for things like scratches and dents on the hull, damage to the motor or propeller, seat stains, windshield cracks, and missing, broken, or loose fittings. By taking a few minutes to do a rental check, you can avoid any headaches down the road.
