Whats Good Local

One weekend a year, every boat in this harbor goes out at once. This is that weekend.

If you want to be on the water Saturday, book it this week — the good ones go first and they go early.

One thing that stops people at the dock: if whoever's driving was born on or after Jan 1, 1988, Florida wants a boater card. Not a driver's license. It's an online test, takes an evening, good for 90 days.

All nine rentals in one place, with the real all-in price:

Labor Day weekend is six days out, and just about every boat in this harbor is going to be on the water.

Here's the thing that ends people's day at the dock before it starts:
if you were born on or after Jan 1, 1988, Florida wants a boater card before you're allowed to drive a rental.

Online test. Takes an evening. Good for 90 days.
