PLEASE NOTE – Florida Law requires anyone born on or after January 1, 1988 who will be driving or renting a boat, JetSki or WaveRunner (or any motorized vessel of 10 hp or more) to have a valid photo ID and a Boating Safety Education ID Card.
The boater education card is proof that you have successfully completed a boating safety course; it is not the same as a boating license.
Those who already have a Safe Boater card from their state are good to go provided it states “NASBLA approved” on the card.
