Good to Know Before You Go
- Alabama boating rules: Alabama requires a vessel license to drive any motorized boat or jet ski, and no one under 12 may drive one. Drivers 12 and 13 need a license and a licensed adult 21 or older on board, and visitors 14 and older from other states can boat up to 45 days a year without an Alabama license. Our rental drivers must be 18 or older.
- Life jackets: everyone on a jet ski and anyone being towed must wear a life jacket, and so should young children on a moving boat.
- Book early: summer weekends and holidays fill up fast.
