Boater Safety
WA State Law requires boat operators to take a boater safety education course in order to operate a boat in Washington state. Anyone operating a powered watercraft of 15 hp or more is required by Washington law to pass a boater safety course and to carry a boater education card.
Boaters can take an online education course at home. Once the course is completed and test passed, you can print your temporary certificate immediately.
Course Options
Boaters may take an approved boater education course in the classroom, online or at home.
