Connecticut Boating Regulations and Laws
The Connecticut Safe Boating Card or Certificate of Personal Watercraft Operation
(also referred to as the
Connecticut boating license) are proof that a boater has taken and passed an
approved boater education course. The Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection (CDEP)
currently has a mandatory boater education requirement requiring all boaters 12 years of age
or older to have the Connecticut boating license on board when the vessel is
underway to satisfy the Connecticut boating regulations.
Many boating fatalities occur because boaters aren't educated about boating safety. The Connecticut
Department of Environmental Protection believes that an educated boater is a safer boater.
Where can I get more information about Connecticut boating regulations and the Connecticut boater education card?
