A person aged 12 to 14 years with a boater education certificate can typically operate a variety of vessels, including personal watercraft (PWCs) and motorboats, depending on state regulations. However, many states require individuals in this age group to be supervised by an adult or have restrictions on the size and horsepower of the vessel they can operate. It's essential to check local laws, as requirements can vary significantly from one jurisdiction to another.
A person would have to be 12 years old to obtain a boaters certificate, but they have to be 14 years old to operate the vessel without immediate supervision.
In Ohio, 10 horsepower is the maximum that a person younger than 12 years old may operate without both an education certificate and a supervising person aboard.
In Kentucky, a person must be at least 12 years old to operate a motorboat of 50 horsepower or greater, provided they have completed a boater education course. Those under 12 years old can operate such boats only if accompanied by a person who is at least 18 and possesses a valid boater education certificate. It's important to always check for any updates or changes to state regulations.

To operate a vessel powered by more than 10 horsepower legally, a person must obtain a Boating Safety Education Certificate in many jurisdictions. However, specific requirements can vary by state or country, so it's essential to check local regulations. Generally, those operating more powerful vessels are encouraged to complete safety education to ensure responsible boating practices. Always verify the requirements applicable in your area before heading out on the water.
