Important Notes:
Riders must follow river traffic rules when entering downtown. F.W.C. (Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission) officers regularly patrol the area to ensure public safety and environmental compliance. Riders can always seek assistance from officers in the event of an emergency or if help is needed. All riders must stay within the assigned geofence limits. If a rider attempts to exit the designated geofence, the jet ski will automatically reduce speed. Drivers born on or after January 1, 1988, must present a Boater Safety Certificate. Arrive 15–20 minutes early to allow time for check-in and orientation.
