Did you know that.....

Many States now Require Mandatory Education For Boater Safety Certification for Boats & PWC's

NJ - Mandatory Education. Boaters must complete a proctored, boating safety course. Minimum age for certification is 13. No person under 13 years old may operate any power vessel on NJ waters. Those 13-15 years olds may operate the following vessels after completing an approved boating safety course: A vessel powered by a motor of no less then 1HP or a vessel powered by a 12 volt electric motor or a vessel 12 feet or greater in length powered by a motor, or a combination of motors less then 10 total HP. Those 16 years and older may operate any power vessel in accordance with the following: A person is required must carry proof of course completion with them. NY - For Recreational Boats other than PWC - No mandatory educational requirements for anyone 18 years of age or older. Those between the ages of 10 and 17 may operate a boat, without an adult supervisor if they successfully complete a proctored 8 hour boating safety course. Upon completion of the course, the individual must carry the required safety certificate at all times, while operating the boat
For PWCs.  New York State has enacted legislation requiring all PWC operators to complete a course in boating safety by January 1, 2004.
