Q: Do I need a boating safety course?

Yes—guests born after January 1, 1988 must complete the Florida boating safety course; instructions are sent after booking.

At 1900 N Ocean Dr in Hollywood, Florida, the water waits for hands on the wheel. Hollywood Mini Power Boat 4 People invites small crews to captain their own compact 15‑foot, 40‑horsepower boat and explore South Florida’s waterways on an intimate scale. Runs range from one to three hours, long enough to thread the Intracoastal’s mangrove edges, circle sandbars, and push toward the Atlantic breeze without losing the accessibility of a short, self‑guided outing. The experience begins with a brief orientation from trained staff who cover seamanship basics, local navigation, and safety protocols so beginners can go from shore to helm with confidence. Minimum age to book is 21; guests born after January 1, 1988 must complete the Florida boating safety course as instructed in the confirmation materials. If nobody in your group meets operator qualifications, you can reserve a captain to take the wheel and still enjoy the ride. What makes this offering stand out is its scale and independence. Unlike larger charters, a mini powerboat rewards nimble moves: threading shallow channels where larger vessels can’t go, dropping anchor near quiet sandbars for an impromptu swim, or skimming a sunlit wake while your playlist fills the cabin. Wildlife is an accessible part of the day—look for shorebirds, osprey, and the occasional dolphin breaking the surface. The scale of the boats also keeps costs lower and schedules flexible for last‑minute plans. Practical details matter: pickup at 1900 N Ocean Dr places you steps from Hollywood beach access and ample parking; bring sunscreen, a towel, sunglasses, and a dry bag for phones. Small coolers and snacks fit easily aboard; speakers are welcome but keep volume considerate of other water users. The operator enforces responsible navigation rules and requires competency standards for drivers to protect fragile nearshore environments. This is an ideal option for couples, pairs of friends, or small families seeking a high‑fun, low‑commitment maritime experience in Hollywood, Florida. It’s as much about learning a new skill as it is about the scenery—mangrove channels, sun‑bright flats, and the quick exchange of city skyline for open water. Whether you aim for a sunset cruise, a turquoise afternoon stop, or a fast coastal jaunt, piloting your own mini powerboat turns ordinary sightseeing into an active, memorable day on the water. Book with the provided referral link to reserve your slot and confirm any certification requirements before arrival. Operators often suggest timing trips for early evening to catch cooler breezes and calmer seas; photographers will appreciate the low sun angles, while families benefit from the shorter outings that still deliver scenic variety, wildlife sightings, and the satisfaction of piloting a real boat—an accessible, practical way to add maritime skill to your South Florida itinerary.
