These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern your use of the Florida Fun Watersports website and your rental of jet skis, paddle boards, and boat tours (the "Services") from Florida Fun Watersports LLC ("we," "us," or "our"), located in Tampa Bay, Florida. By using this website, contacting us to make a reservation, or participating in any of our Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use this website or our Services.
1. Description of Services
We offer jet ski rentals, paddle board rentals, and guided boat tours on the waters of Tampa Bay, Florida. Availability of specific equipment, tours, and add-ons may vary and is confirmed at the time of booking.
2. Eligibility and Age Requirements
Renters and riders must meet the minimum age and any boating safety education requirements established by Florida law for the equipment being operated. A valid government-issued photo ID is required at check-in. Minors may be required to be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian who assumes responsibility for the minor at all times.
Operators must not be under the influence of alcohol or drugs at any time before or during a rental. We reserve the right to refuse or cancel service, without refund, to anyone who appears impaired, underage, or otherwise unfit to safely operate the equipment.
3. Reservations, Booking, and Payment
Reservations can currently be made by phone or WhatsApp (see Contact Us below). A deposit or full payment may be required to confirm a reservation, as communicated at the time of booking. We accept the payment methods offered to you at booking; specific pricing, deposit amounts, and accepted payment methods are provided directly by our team and are not fixed in these Terms.
We plan to offer online booking (via FareHarbor) and online payment processing (via Stripe) in the future. Once available, use of those services will also be subject to FareHarbor's and Stripe's own respective terms of service and privacy policies, and this section will be updated with links to those documents.
4. Cancellations and Refunds
Cancellation and refund terms (including notice periods and any applicable fees) will be communicated to you at the time of booking and may vary based on weather, water, and safety conditions. We reserve the right to cancel, shorten, or reschedule any rental or tour, without penalty to us, due to unsafe weather, water conditions, mechanical issues, or other circumstances beyond our reasonable control. In such cases, we will work with you in good faith on rescheduling or a refund consistent with the policy communicated at booking.
5. Assumption of Risk
Operating a jet ski, paddle board, or riding on a boat involves inherent risks, including but not limited to: collision with other vessels, objects, or people; capsizing or falling overboard; drowning; equipment malfunction; adverse weather or water conditions; and the negligence of other operators. These risks exist even when equipment is properly maintained and safety instructions are followed.
By participating in our Services, you voluntarily and knowingly assume all such risks, whether known or unknown, and acknowledge that these activities can result in property damage, personal injury, or death to yourself or others.
6. Liability Waiver and Release
To the fullest extent permitted by Florida law, you release, waive, discharge, and covenant not to sue Florida Fun Watersports LLC, its owners, employees, and agents from any and all liability, claims, demands, or causes of action arising out of ordinary negligence in connection with your participation in our Services. This release does not apply to damages caused by our gross negligence, willful misconduct, or as otherwise prohibited by applicable law.
A separate, more detailed written waiver and release of liability, assumption of risk, and indemnification agreement will be provided for physical signature (or approved electronic signature) before any rental or tour begins. In the event of any conflict, the signed waiver document controls.
7. Rules of Conduct and Safe Operation
While using our equipment or participating in a tour, you agree to:
- Wear a properly fitted U.S. Coast Guard-approved life jacket at all times while on the water, as provided.
- Complete the safety briefing and follow all instructions given by our staff or tour guides.
- Operate equipment at a safe speed and distance from other vessels, swimmers, wildlife, and marked areas.
- Comply with all applicable Florida boating laws and regulations.
- Not operate equipment while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
- Return equipment at the agreed time and in the condition it was provided, ordinary wear excepted.
8. Equipment Responsibility and Damage
You are responsible for the equipment rented to you from the time of pickup until it is returned to us. You agree to reimburse us for any loss, theft, or damage to the equipment that occurs during your rental period beyond ordinary wear and tear, in an amount to be reasonably determined based on repair or replacement cost.
9. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Florida Fun Watersports LLC shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising out of or related to your use of our Services or this website, even if advised of the possibility of such damages. Nothing in these Terms limits any liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable Florida or federal law.
10. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Florida Fun Watersports LLC and its owners, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of your breach of these Terms, your negligent or willful acts, or your violation of any law or the rights of a third party.
11. Privacy
We collect limited personal information (such as your name, phone number, and email address) when you contact us to make a reservation, solely to communicate with you and manage your booking. We do not sell your personal information to third parties. Once online booking and payment (FareHarbor and Stripe) are integrated, additional information may be collected and processed by those providers under their own respective privacy policies.
