Laws vary State-to-State so you should check with the agency that governs boating laws in your State. The National Association of State Boating Law Administrators approves courses at the national level and most States follow those guidelines. States have final approval and subsequently approve courses that yield a Safety Certification (what you refer to as a License). Both in-class and online courses are available dependant upon what your State approves
no you do not
No
In Michigan they are the same thing, the boaters safety class covers both. If you have your boaters safety license you can legally operate at jet-ski at age 16. However, without a boaters safety license you can still operate a boat at age 16 but not a jet-ski. In the state of Michigan you have to be age 31 to operate a jet-ski without a license.
14
a p.w license
It varies, but generally 13+.
Yes.
I think you have to be 16 to get a license. If you are the person who is 12 and wants to get a license, sorry! I disagree my friend is twelve and he got his jet ski license. I think you have to be 16 to drive a boat. To get your jet ski licence you must be at least twelve. To get a boat licence you must be twelve.
It depends but in Texas you have to be 13 years or older to get your boating license
i think you have to be 16 and older.
Yes.
Not necessarily . by analogy a truck driver does not necesssarily own the machine he drives for a living, some do, these are called owner-operators.
