Wasn’t there some sort of boating license they obtained? Or, perhaps I read that from previous threads/article on this case. If I am wrong... oops. If the boat was their parents boat.. did they steal the key? From the articles I have read, one parent kept discussing that they were experienced. Thus, permission to go out on the water must have been given at some point.

There is no boating license in Florida. If you were born after 1988 you have to take an on-line safety course.
I am guessing the kids pretty much had run of the water and didn’t need specific permission.
Licenses are quite a bit above their level and age. There are, however, are large number of Coast Guard and state training classes and certificates. Don’t know the lower age limits for the classes, but at 14 they would be old enough for them. Common with boating families, even in places like Minnesota on big freshwater lakes.
