Mandatory Boater Education
|
In 2005, a law was passed requiring boat operators to take a boater safety
education course in order to operate a boat in Washington state. The law applies
to operators of motorboats with 15 horsepower or greater.
Boaters can take an education course in a classroom, online or at home. Once the
course is completed and test passed, boaters need to send a completed application
for their card.
If boaters already have taken an approved boating class, they only need to send
in their application with supporting documents to get a Boater Education Card.
