       New York Boaters  be aware you need to pass a test!

       Do you need a Boater Card in New York?
       As of January 1, 2020, New York will begin a phase-in-by-age law
       that will require a new age group to become certified each year,
       requiring all motorized boat and PWC operators to pass a boater
       safety course and to carry a New York boater card by January 1,
       2025. All motorized boat operators born on or after January 1,
       1993, will be required to carry the New York boater card by
       January 1, 2020.
       New York State Parks Requirements
       You must be at least 10 years old to take this online course.
       You do not have to be a resident of New York to take this online
       course.

       You Must Carry the Card
       Vessel operators who are required to have the New York Boater
       Card must carry the card on board the vessel and have it
       available for inspection by an enforcement officer. Not carrying
       your New York Boater Card when it is required can result in a
       fine.
       Reciprocity
       For visiting boaters, all states, territories, and provinces
       will recognize boating education cards that meet NASBLA
       requirements and Canadian Pleasure Craft Operator Cards that
       meet Transport Canada’s requirements. (This is known as
       “reciprocity.”)
