Boat operators can choose to operate their vessels under certain exemptions, such as using them exclusively for personal, non-commercial purposes, or if they fall below specific size or horsepower limits set by local regulations. They may also consider leasing or renting a registered vessel instead of registering their own. Additionally, operators can look into alternative options like operating on private waters where registration may not be required. Always check local laws to ensure compliance with regulations.
