OPERATOR'S LICENSE

Some states are implementing operator's license requirements. These requirements vary widely. Many states now have restrictions regarding age. If you are operating in a location where minors are allowed to operate the boat, careful supervision by an adult should be the rule of thumb always.

Whether operating a boat locally or in a remote location, operators should annually verify with state and local authorities regarding whether a license or training is required.
