No prior experience is required to book, but you must be comfortable operating a personal watercraft after a safety briefing; two-person options allow beginners to ride with a guide.
Minimum age to drive is 18; riders as young as 12 may join with a guardian. Not recommended for people with significant cardiovascular or spinal issues.
The route offers close-up waterborne views but adheres to Coast Guard exclusion zones; you’ll see the islands from a distinct vantage without landing.
Operators typically cancel for unsafe conditions (high winds, low visibility) and offer full refunds if canceled more than 24 hours before departure.
