Florida requires a boater safety certificate for anyone born on or after January 1, 1988 who wants to drive; the NASBLA temporary Florida test is offered on site for $3, though completing it online ahead of time is quicker. Once you’re checked in, the dock crew fits your life jackets, runs the walkthrough, and sends you off.
Worth packing: reef-safe sunscreen, a hat with a strap, a phone leash or waterproof pouch, and a small soft-sided cooler with drinks — no glass.
