Only 2 More Months to Get Your Please Craft Operator Card

September 15th, 2009 is the Final Deadline. All boat operators need their Pleasure Craft Operator Card this year! There is no grandfather clause and no minimum age to get the card. This federal law applies to all Canadians, no matter your age, the length of your boat or the size of your engine.

This card is good for life, and is recognized across Canada and the U.S.All Canadians are now required by federal law to carry a boating license when operating a powered water craft under 4m in length. Those born after April 1, 1983 require a license for any sized water craft. To receive this boat operator license, you must pass a multiple choice exam with a score of at least 75%.

Where can I take my exam and get my boat license? You can write your exam directly on the internet at our website. Once you pass the exam your boat operator license is mailed to your home. In the meantime, you can print a temporary license and use that while you wait for your permanent card to arrive.
