Who is required to take a boating safety course? Individuals born after January 1, 1974, must complete a boating safety course to operate a motor boat on Vermont's waters. Although online courses are an option, many prefer the benefits of in-person classes.
Our course comprises two four-hour sessions with a lunch break; lunch is not provided. The lead instructor brings over 31 years of boating experience, including service with the US Coast Guard in the Northwest Atlantic and 26 years as a VT State Game Warden on local waters.
Class size is limited to 15 students, aged 11 or above, with proficiency in reading and comprehending material at a 5th-grade level. During testing, questions can be read aloud upon request. Students under 15 must attend with an adult, and those under 18 require parental consent, acknowledged by a signed registration form on the first day of class.
