Please Read! Boater’s Safety Education Certificate Required For Destin Jet Ski Rentals
If the driver is born after January 1, 1988, they must present a boating safety education identification card issued by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, or the equivalent from another state. Visitors from out of state who do not have a card issued by their home state can take a Temporary Certificate test. We do offer the temporary Boater’s Safety Education Course so you can obtain your temporary boater’s certificate. If you need to take the Boater’s Safety Course, please allow plenty of time for this, so that you can depart on time.
You can go to here and get your temporary certificate.
Pursuant to section 327.54, Florida Statutes, only a licensed livery operator may give safety instructions on the operation of a vessel. Due to staffing, we are unable to provide safety instruction in languages other than English at this time, nor can we permit members of the public to translate for guests. Thank you for your understanding.

Parking
Destin Water Fun (214 Harbor Blvd): customer parking on site covers one vehicle per reservation, first come, first served — on busy days we suggest carpooling. Extra vehicles park free at 310 Mountain Drive or for $15 per vehicle at 285 US-98 W. RVs and trailers can’t park on site and use the paid public lot across the street.
Gilligan's Watersports (530 Harbor Blvd): free on-property parking, first come, first served, with overflow at 531 Mountain Drive.
Xtreme H2O (7 Calhoun Ave): public parking at the Destin Marina beside the launch — limited on high-volume days, so carpool when possible.
Check-In
Fastest way onto the water: knock out Florida’s temporary boater test online before you arrive — drivers born on or after January 1, 1988 need the certificate, and having it done makes check-in easier and faster. You can also take the $3 NASBLA test right at the dock; just allow extra time. Show up 45 minutes before your start time with a photo ID for every driver, and the dock team will handle life jackets and the safety rundown before sending you flying.
Bring along: reef-safe sunscreen, a secure hat, something waterproof for your phone, and a small soft-sided cooler with drinks — glass stays home.
