No Need For "Boater's Card"...

We have been receiving numerous questions regarding the "Pleasure Craft Operator Card" that was started last summer. This card only applies to Canadian Residents. I pasted the exact quote off of the Boater Exam Website, which clearly states that if you are here on vacation for less than 45 consecutive days (don't we wish we could vacation for that long...LOL) then you DO NOT REQUIRE THE BOATER'S CARD.

"Non-residents only need to obtain a Pleasure Craft Operator Card if they are operating their powered boat in Canadian waters for more than 45 consecutive days or if the boat they are operating is registered or licensed in Canada (this includes rented boats). Boater Education Cards or equivalent certifications are recognized in Canada. Proper identification should be kept on board at all times to provide proof of residency."

If you have any other questions, please feel free to call or e-mail anytime!!
