There was also a substantial deposit required plus
they required some proof of having some formal training, via boating
course,
captains license and/or previous boating experience. The boat was also
beat to banannas.

Isn't it mostly canals?

Depends on where you are. The one I rented was on the ICW just a half
mile or so from Jupiter Inlet and the ocean.

and you need a Licence?

No. I didn't say that. They required proof of boating experience by virtue
of having completed a boating safety course. A USCG Captain's license
covered all the proofs required. They also considered verifiable general
experience if you could prove it.

This was the policy of the specific place I rented the boat. Other places
may have different requirements.
