Boating safety certificates are required for recreational boaters using motorized vessels, including personal watercraft.
Once you successfully complete a boating safety education course, the certification card you receive is permanent and does not have an expiration date. The necessity to retake the course would only arise if there were changes in state law by the legislature that mandate a renewal or re-certification.
The boater exam consists of 60 multiple choice questions. Open-book final test.
New York State requires all registered boats manufactured after 11/1/72 to have a Hull Identification Number (HIN) assigned and affixed to the transom (see diagram). A HIN will be 12 characters (letters and numbers).
If you are at least 18 years old, you may rent without completing a course. The livery must demonstrate how to properly use the boat before renting it. Persons under the age of 18 may only rent a motorboat if they hold a safety certificate.
A completed Boat Registration/Title Application (MV-82B). 2. proof of ownership (manufacturer's statement of origin; a title from NY or another state; a transferable registration; or a US Coast Guard document), see page 2; 3.
