Instructor:  Allan Miller
 
Effective January 1, 2025, every operator of a power operated watercraft must have completed an NYS or NASBLA-Approved boater safety course.

Get Ready for Spring Boating Season!  Take this two-day boating Safety Course.

This course is a great opportunity to get the whole family certified. Bring the family and get everyone certified together. 
This course meets the NYS and USCG requirements for Powerboat and PWC Operation (i.e., Jet-ski, Wave runner). You will have met the requirements upon successful completion and can operate a PWC (i.e., Jet ski) and Powerboat independently. Upon completing this course, you will receive a certificate (often incorrectly referred to as a NYS Boating License or Jet ski license).

The course is comprehensive and teaches the fundamentals of safe boating operations. It is taught by State-Certified Instructors using materials approved by the National Association of State Boating Law Administrators.

Upon successful completion of the course, a temporary certification, valid for 90 days, will be issued. Adults 18 years or older will be required to mail a $10 fee to the State of New York so that their permanent Certification card can be issued within 90 days. For children between 10 and 17 years of age, the $10 NYS fee is waived.
Anyone operating a Personal Watercraft (Jet Ski) is required to have a Boater Safety certificate and be at least 14 years old.
