Good To Know

Everything, Answered.

Do I need a boating license to drive?

Only if you're driving yourself and were born on or after January 1, 1988 — Florida then requires a boating safety card. Good news: it's a quick online test you can finish from your phone in about 30 minutes, even the morning of, valid 90 days. Prefer to skip it? Hire an independent, licensed captain — you book and pay them directly.

What if the weather is bad?

You're covered. If it isn't safe for boating, we'll reschedule you for another day at no charge — one message and we move your trip. You never lose your money to a rainy day.

What's included on the boat?

Every boat comes with a 100-watt Bluetooth speaker, a cooler, a docktail table, and all required safety gear. Just bring your crew, your drinks, and sunscreen.

Where do we meet, and where do I park?

We check in on the docks at Madeira Beach Moorings Marina — 13205 Gulf Blvd, right behind Mad Beach Cantina, under five minutes from the John's Pass sandbar. City parking is across the street — drop your crew and coolers at the marina first, then park. We'll send exact directions when you book.

How many people can come? Are kids welcome?

Rentals hold up to 11 guests, private tours up to 6 — kids included in the count. Families are absolutely welcome, and we carry life jackets in all sizes.

What's your cancellation policy?

Life happens — reach out and we'll work with you. Weather-related reschedules are always free. We'll go over the full details when we confirm your booking.

Self-Drive Rentals

Where You Can Cruise.

Driving yourself? You'll have miles of calm, protected water to explore — all inside the bridges. Here's exactly where you can go without a captain.

Stay inside the marked boundary at all times. Heading to the Gulf or beyond the bridges? That trip needs one of our licensed captains.
