Yes, Florida requires a boating safety credential for jet ski drivers born on or after January 1, 1988, so many Key West island tour companies verify that before the ride starts. Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission rules apply to personal watercraft over 10 horsepower, and rental operators may use a temporary certificate test if they do not already have a Florida Boating Safety Education ID Card.
