BOATING PERMIT

---

To ensure the safety of all passengers on our boats and watercraft, Florida law requires that anyone born on or after January 1, 1988, operating a pontoon boat, jet ski, or any watercraft with an engine over 10hp, must possess a boating safety education identification card issued by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission or the equivalent from another state.

Don't have a boating safety education card? Not to worry, you have options:

1. Take a quick and easy Temporary Certificate test at the Blue Crab Water Sports booth, which is valid for one year.
2. Or, for a lifetime certification, follow the links on the Destin Info page of our website, entitled "Official Boater Safety Education Course." Costs vary for this option.

To obtain the Temporary Certificate, simply read the required information and complete a 25-question test. Don't forget to bring along a valid driver's license and the $3 fee for the test.

We take boating safety seriously and appreciate your cooperation in helping us ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone on board.
