<p>Renting a jet ski in Ft. Lauderdale is a blast. Some of the key questions that are often asked by the general public at most boat rental businesses in South Florida are: how old do I have to be to rent a jet ski? And do I need a special license to rent a boat?  Here is what the boating law in Florida says on these issues: </p>
<li>A person must be at least 14 years of age to operate a personal watercraft in Florida.</li>
<li>A person must be at least 18 years of age to rent a personal watercraft in Florida.</li>
<li>It is unlawful for a person to knowingly allow a person under 14 years of age to operate a personal watercraft (a second-degree misdemeanor).</li>
<li>Anyone 21 years of age or younger is required to either have successfully completed a National Association of State Boating Law Administrators (NASBLA) approved boating education course or have passed a course equivalency or temporary certificate examination and have in their possession a boating education ID card and a photo identification card before operating a vessel with a motor of 10 HP or more in Florida.  Identification cards for persons completing the course or the equivalency exam are good for a lifetime.  Temporary Certificate exams are made available to the public through contractors.  The temporary certificate is valid for 12 months from the issue date.</li>
<p>Remember that a personal watercraft includes boats, jet skis, wave runners, etc.</p>

<p>Many boat and jet ski rental companies are &#8220;contractors&#8221; so they are able to administer the exam and issue certificates right there at their boat &amp; personal watercraft rental locations. It is best to call in advance and ask the jet ski rental &amp; boat rental businesses if they can issue the boat safety ID card at there location before going to rent there without one.</p>
