Prepare Before You Ride
Florida Temporary Boat License
Learn who needs a Florida temporary boating certificate, how the quick on-site test works, what to bring, and how to prepare for your Salty's rental.
Fast, Simple Boating-Safety Preparation
Florida boating-safety rules may require certain operators to carry proof of approved education before operating a motorboat or personal watercraft. Salty's staff verifies the current requirement at check-in and can direct eligible guests to the temporary-certificate process.
Allow Extra Time
Arrive 30 minutes early so licensing, waivers, equipment fitting, and the safety briefing do not reduce your reserved water time.
On-Site Option
When applicable, Salty's offers a quick temporary-certificate test at check-in for $13.97.
Before Operating
Every operator receives a safety briefing covering the controls, safety lanyard, navigation area, local zones, wildlife protection, and emergency procedures. Requirements can change, so use the current booking instructions or call the team for the latest information.
