Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE MACHINE

Three-Wheeled Thrill

The Polaris Slingshot is a low, open, three-wheeled roadster designed for a visceral, head-out driving experience—ideal for a focused, driver-led date where the machine is the main event.

THE WINDOW

A Full-Day Rental

This package grants a 14-hour rental window, giving couples ample time to explore local roads and set their own pace over a single date day or night.

THE RULES

Driver Requirements Shape the Experience

The rental is explicitly a driver-led activity: renters must be at least 21, show a valid driver’s license, demonstrate manual-transmission skill, and accept responsibility for who operates the vehicle.

What the day feels like

What the Date Feels Like

The experience is straightforward: pick up your Slingshot, complete required checks and a skills demonstration, then head out for self-directed driving in Cocoa Beach for a continuous 14-hour rental period—a compact, machine-focused date that centers on driving rather than guided stops.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this Date Night is right for—and who should look elsewhere.

1
Driver-First CouplesIdeal for couples where one person will drive and wants a full-day, machine-centered experience; the rental fits two people per Slingshot.
2
Solo DriversAppropriate if you want to drive alone, provided you meet the age and licensing requirements and accept single-occupant use of a two-seat vehicle.
3
Non-Drivers / PassengersPassengers can enjoy the ride, but they cannot legally operate the vehicle unless they are an authorized renter who satisfies the operator’s driver requirements.
4
Inexperienced Manual-DriversNot a good match unless you can demonstrate adequate manual-transmission driving skill—manual operation is a stated requirement.
