Florida does not require a boating license, but anyone born on or after January 1, 1988, must complete a NASBLA-approved boating course or pass a temporary certificate exam. While no separate permit is needed to rent a boat, renters must follow local regulations, including speed limits, no-wake zones, and restricted areas, especially in places like Siesta Key.
