Before you
hop in…

The quick answers. The rest are on the full FAQ.

Request my escape
  • Do I need a Florida boater card to drive?

    If you were born on or after January 1, 1988, yes. Florida requires anyone born on or after that date who operates a boat with 10 hp or more to carry a Florida Boating Safety Education ID Card, or proof of a NASBLA-approved boating course from another state. Our mini boats have 30 hp engines, so the rule applies to every driver born in 1988 or later.

  • How old do you have to be to drive?

    Drivers must be 18 or older. Florida statute Β§327.54 does not allow a livery to rent a motorized vessel to anyone under 18, so every driver needs to be 18+ and bring a photo ID.

  • How many people fit in a mini boat?

    Two, side by side. Bringing more friends? Each pair gets its own mini boat and the whole crew rides together as a mini boat convoy.

  • How much does a mini boat rental cost?

    A 2-hour mini boat rental is $339 and includes a cooler with ice and water. Each mini boat seats two, and life vests and a pre-ride safety walkthrough are always included.

  • Do you come to us?

    We do. We deliver the mini boats to the launch point, so you meet us at the water. We confirm the exact launch point with you when we confirm your booking.

  • What happens after I request my escape?

    You get an Escape Pass code right away. Then we reach out to confirm your date, crew size, launch point and the fun details. No payment is needed to request.
