Safety & FAQ

We Know We Know, Safety Things Are Not The Funnest Part Of Any Experience. Unfortunately We Do Have Some Rules We Have To Abide By To Keep The Fun Times Going. Here Are Some General Things Everyone Needs To Know, As Well As Answers To Most Questions.

Renters of All Age Must Do Below:

Watch the PWIA safety video HERE.

This Video Teaches You How To Safely Operate The PWC.

Are The Jet Ski Tours Guided Only?

Yes, unfortunately there's too many places in these waters to either get stuck, hit an oyster bed, or get in a potentially harmful situation.  We want everyone to have a blast, but we also want everyone to be safe.  Because of this we require all tours to have a guide with them just in case anything may happen.

Are Reservations Required?

Bookings must be made ahead of time, and at least an hour before the rental time.  As well all Evolution Jetsports renters must have their temporary boating certificate done before coming in (if needed), and have already watched the PWIA safety video.  These items can be found in the “What to do first” section.

Do I Need A Boating License To Drive A Jet Ski?

**ALL DRIVERS BORN ON AND/OR AFTER JANUARY 1, 1988 MUST BY LAW PASS THE BOATER SAFETY COURSE AND CARRY A BOATER EDUCATION CARD from Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation before you will be allowed to operate a Jet Ski or boat.***

Please follow the link to the Rental License website to complete your certification if renting jet skis or boats. CLICK HERE

How Old Does Everyone Need To Be?

There Are No Age Requirements For Kayaks & Paddleboards, But Everyone Must Be Able To Swim With No Assistance.

For PWC's See Below.

Renter’s must be at least 18 years of age with a valid drivers license.

Drivers under 18 must be at least 14 years of age and accompanied by a legal guardian or parent that is 21 or older.

Passengers must be at least 10 years of age

Do I Need To Watch Any Videos

Only Jet Ski Renters Are Required To Watch A Safety Video.  Please Watch The PWIA Safety Video Before Your Trip.

What Should I Bring And What Should I Wear?

Bring your government-issued ID, proof of your boater’s safety license (if born after 1988), sunscreen, and a towel.  Wet suit bottoms are recommended for jet skis, but we have them if you would like to use ours.

What Is Included In My Rental?

Jet Skis:

Jet Ski, one tank of gas, a life jacket, a whistle, and instructions on how to operate the jet ski. *Wet suits are not provided but wetsuit bottoms are offered as well as helmets. Be prepared to lock your personal belongings in your vehicle, for the duration of your rental time (we are not liable for items lost or damaged during rental use).

Kayaks/SUPs:

Kayak/Sup, paddle, a life jacket, a whistle, and instructions on how to use the equipment and where to go. Be prepared to lock your personal belongings in your vehicle, for the duration of your rental time (we are not liable for items lost or damaged during rental use

Are There Any Worries About Alcohol While Being On The Water?

DO NOT DRINK AND BOAT! If you or any rider are under the influence aka boating under the influence (BUI) — that is, operating any boat, sailboat, personal watercraft, water skis, sailboard, or similar device while intoxicated, you will NOT be allowed to ride.

What Does The Mandatory Damage Waiver Cover? (Powered Vessels)

Damage waivers have a deductible of $1000. Meaning that renters are only responsible for the damage up to $1000. This deductible does not cover PWC recovery in the event that the PWC is sunk, or ran aground. Waivers also do not cover lost items like life jackets or keys. Refer to the fee schedule for PWC recovery costs.  The full description can be found on the damage waiver page.  Damage waivers do not come automatically and must be purchased separate per piece of equipment.  Pricing will show in the booking flow.

Am I Allowed To Bring Personal Items Or Beverages On The Jet Ski/Boat?

If you choose to take your phone, we suggest a waterproof case. Evolution Jetsports is not liable for any personal items lost or damaged. There is a small console to hold non-alcoholic beverages and waterproof items, this console is by no means a safe place to keep valuables and we are not responsible if it opens and items fall out.  We recommend any items be fastened to your body to keep items from being lost, especially when flipping or falling off the equipment.  Alcoholic beverages are prohibited.

What Happens If I Damage The Rental?

The rental contract specifies terms whereby the primary renter is responsible for damages that may occur during the rental period. All of our equipment is photographed upon departure and arrival. This documentation is done to ensure accurate records for both Evolution Jetsports and the renter of the equipment. Charges will be applied to the credit card on file for the cost of damages.

Do I Get A Weather Refund If It Rains During My Rental?

If the weather is inclement because of lightning or heavy rains at the location and time of the rental, if trip protection was purchased we will refund the booking or reschedule to another day.  Please check weather before booking.

Can We Bring Jet Skis/Boats To The Beach?

Jet skis/Boats are NOT allowed at or on the beach. You must stay within the boundaries explained by our licensed operators. Failure to follow the guidelines may result in the termination of the rental, loss of deposit, and being prohibited from future rentals.
