Florida livery and rental boat requirements

A livery is any business that rents or leases boats or personal watercraft to the public. Florida has specific regulations for liveries to ensure rental boaters receive proper safety information and equipment.

Florida liveries must provide all required safety equipment on each rental vessel, including properly sized PFDs for all passengers, fire extinguishers, visual distress signals (if required), and sound-producing devices.
