Questions riders ask.

Where can I ride?
Possible routes include Cape Coral waterways and destinations toward Sanibel, Pine Island, Fort Myers Beach, Captiva, and other Gulf locations. Your realistic range depends on rental length and conditions; route maps are conceptual, not navigation instructions.
Do I need a boating license?
Anyone born after January 1, 1988 who operates a powered vessel in Florida must complete an approved boater safety course or obtain a Florida Temporary Boating Certificate.
Do I need to sign a waiver?
Yes. Every participant must complete the electronic waiver before departure. Boat renters must also complete the boat rental agreement.
What if I am late?
Arrive at least 15 minutes early for check-in and orientation. Late arrival shortens your available time, and arrivals more than 15 minutes late may be treated as a no-show and charged in full.
