During our insurance renewal thi s off-season our carrier informed us of the new restriction regarding the age requirement for the banana boats. When I questioned it and our rep said that they were getting a lot of claims from handles breaking while larger people were going. This caused people to be unknowingly throw from their seat and into another person. He summarized it by saying there were a lot of broken noses. Instead of having everyone weigh before the trip they just set an age restriction. I have no say in this and knew we were going to get backlash from customers. We quickly changed our website to reflect this. I am truely sorry and wish this wasn’t the case. We depend on reviews for our business and would hope that we would not be punished by something we cannot control.

You have to be 16 years or older to drive a jet ski. 18 to carry a passenger. Nobody under the age of 6 is allowed on a jet ski.

Agreed, WaveRunners can be dangerous in inexperienced hands, especially if they panic

Probably due to safety/insurance policies.
