I am pretty sure that you need a licence to operate a boat. So unless they have a boat licence the answer is no.
you do need a licence to drive a boat in Maryland
do you need a boat licence for a 5hp outboard

There is no such thing as a boat driving licence
15

well if it is a boat yes.
If you going to put a boat into a waterway in Victoria, you will need a boating licence.
A Licence is something you pay for, it is payment for "permission" to drive a boat, etc. A "Skippers Ticket" in WA is proof that you have the competence to do it. Once you have the Skippers Ticket, you can drive a Recreational Boat in WA. You do not need to keep paying a fee to the Govt, because it is not a licence. In WA to drive a recreational boat you just need to prove you are competent - and off you go. In some states of Australia you need to keep paying a Licence, for permission to drive a boat.
It is not the size of the boat if you need a licence it is your age and every state has different rules so check that out. The size of the boat matters when it comes to what the boat must carry like lifevests.
If the motor is over 15 horsepower and over 3.7 metres you would need a boat licence.
