certificate of boating safety education
What year was it that a boating license was required to operate a boat on the lake, seems to me back in the early 70's my dad had bought a boat and we had a camp on Cow and he would keep our 21 foot Lyman at Guilford marina, I don't remember him having a license.

There was a phase-in period depending on age, but everyone has been required to have a safe-boating certificate since 01-Jan-2008.

I am going to guess that it was about 2003 that the program started. I don't know if that is the exact year but I think it is close to that.

IMHO one of two very big mistakes regarding the boating / licensing program. |

Age Mattered
We older geezers did not have to have our license until the end of 2008. We took our proctored exam at a class given at the fire station in February in our town in southern NewHampshire. My bride scored a point higher than I did. 🐻

2002
My family(5 of us) got ours issued August 26 2002. I'm pretty sure that was the first spring/summer they offered the boating course. While there was a progressive time frame based on age we needed our boys to have their licenses the first year so we made it a family thing. Never had to worry about it after that.

Not a license. It's a "Certificate of Boating Safety Education".

Well said, license implies you know how to drive, and many people on the lake have no clue how to drive

I was stopped a couple of years ago and couldn't find my certificate and was issued a citation. Later that day I searched the boat again and found it. Completed the requirements to prove I had it and did not have to pay.
However, as a result of that, my wife and I took pics of our boating certificates and keep them on our phones. I have also done that with several other important documents just in case a similar situation occurs. I'm not sure of the legality of such a procedure but I am hoping most LEOs would rather see a pic of your document than nothing at all. |
