Hiring a captain means no one in your group has to be the boat operator, which removes the need to designate one guest to stay sober and drive. Florida boating-under-the-influence laws apply to the person operating the vessel, so letting a professional captain handle navigation is a major reason drinking groups choose captained charters. Of course, everyone still needs a safe way back to their accommodations after returning to the marina.
