- Helmets are required for tubing. They are provided for all other activities if desired.
- Groups of friends may not reserve the boat for more than two consecutive slots. If a group reserves more than two consecutive slots, one may be subject to cancelation. This is to ensure equal opportunity for all students to have the ability to us the boat.

- Students may split their time slot with a fellow FGCU student. Please remember that boat slots are limited to 30 minutes, so we recommend signing up for individual boat slots.
Boating privileges are for students with active Eagle ID’s only. Guests of students are welcome to ride along in the boat, but they cannot participate in any boating activity including but not limited to tubing, wakeboarding, wake skating, water skiing, etc.
