Look at what rental wave runners look like after one season! NFW i would rent a personal boat unless it was a pontoon or a bayliner openbow!! LOL
And im sure we've all been there when we bring people onboard and there's always that one guy that is just there to have fun no matter what the consequences!
Once had a dirt-bag onboard that got stupid on everyone else's booze and then half way through the evening he see a pontoon with friends he knows and wants to go there. I want this guy off the boat so off we go....the pontoon guys are lit brighter then this guy and start veering towards us......im yelling at the driver to stay put ill come to him....nope! he's the captin and he knows better!
Im turning away from him as hes trying to get closer to us...im yelling for him to stop....next thing i know the dirtbag is jumping from my boat to the pontoon...pontoon surfs my boats small wake and goes right into the side of my boat and gives me a nice 12" scratch just above the waterline. Dirtbag lands inside the pontoon boat but face first...karma at its best! Yells back to us to find him later... YEAH RIGHT!! We went about our night and dont know or care how he got home!
So point is these are the kinds of people that would be on the boat...driver or not it WILL get abused. Question is how badly you want it abused?

Watch a couple of episodes of Bonehead Boaters and that will set you straight real quick.

I get asked a lot and I’m not interested at all.

If you have a nice boat you care about and are intolerant of ****ty unrespectable people, I don’t see how you could do it and stay sane.

If you are renting the boat and using your specified driver, that driver has to be a licensed Captain
