Canadian Boat Drivers Need Boat Operator Card
All operators of powered watercraft used for recreational purposes within Canada now require a Boat Operator Card.
As of September 15, 2009 all boaters are now required to have the Pleasure Craft Operator Card in order to operate a powered watercraft. There is no grandfather clause or age exemption – this law applies to all boaters. Powered watercraft includes watercraft fitted with any size motor – even a trolling motor.




Thanks Rob. If it’s going anywhere, I owe that, in part, to some notes I took from one of your workshops! Thanks for your visit!
