Taking my GF of 5 years jet sking at a resort near Niagara falls for our anniversary, just recently found out you needed a license, got scared for a second there. Thanks for the help!
The ICC Boat license 1 in the Netherlands is very difficult. During the exam you have to know a 2 inch thick book with RPR,BPR water laws & regulations. And i mean everything. Also many exam questions about sailing. So if you only want to fish on a Jon boat with 20HP you need to lear everything about sailing and all water laws rules rpr, bpr. Most ICC exams outside Europe are way easier.
In Cali, it's a Boater Card, not a license as it's a one time fee and it never expires. Licenses expire. Current cost is $10 for lifetime. You have to pass an approved online course and then you'll receive your card by mail. The online course can range between $29 and $35. Note: A Boater Card is required for all applicants under the age of 20 operating a motorized vessel on state waterways. All applicants, regardless of age, will be required to hold a boater card after 2025. Source: CA DMV
so i am trying to get jetskis for the family, for all those who are over 21: do any of them need a card/license? because ive heard through my cousin that people were getting their jetskis towed for not having a license
We know it’s not a boating license. We just call it that as a slang and to shorten the term. For instance, a Near Coastal Master License is not really a captain’s license, but people call it a captain’s license for a short term/slang.
you very help much thanks :) Seriously thanks for simplifying this whole process for me and showing me where to go instead of me searching the interwebs for a long time, it helped a lot.
I watched your video last week so I went a head and did it but study for a week first then sit the test today and it so happens that I passed< bro I was shocked. it coast me $34.99 + $9.99 for a extra card just incase I loose the other one. It coast me $44 in all and 5 hours to do it.
It's really THAT EASY? Saving this video. I have also subscribed. Not yet a boat owner, but that is the current and future of my life. Working only towards boat ownership. (so if anyone in florida or louisiana, any southern state that isn't texas, has an opening for a guy...)
hold on you can get a license online without any physical lessons and exams? how someone can operate a boat , how to dock and all that if there is no practical exam and lessons?
My state requires a certificate and license but it’s not listed on the website that you listed to use what a bummer know I have to go down to the DNR to require both waste of time watching this video.
Sadly here in aus you can not just get a license online :( you MUST do a online test then when you pass that you MUST come on for a 50 question theory (it’s multiple questions….but they don’t make it easy …maybe the first 10 are…then after that you have to really know your boating sht) to top that off you MUST get 100% or you FAIL( and that’s like 200-400$ down the drain ) if by some miracle you do pass…you must then prove your skills dams ability to drive for around 30m give or take ( IF) you pass that step you get a license ….currently it’s harder to get a boat license than a gun or a car …how that works idk….
Anyone born after September 1993 in Texas must take a course. I was offended when they said I didn't need to take the course. Do I really look 68? Arrggg! Maybe I'll teach the course!?
wow here in Canada with having pretty much the same way they should have a different test for the land lock waters like lakes and rivers that don't access any river that leads to an ocean or a larger body of water that have large shipping in them yea do think when you plan on sailing you not a special license and a course to take too i know i am inland locked waters have NO experience in radios use or ocean laws yes i am looking into learning all of this as to who is qualified to teach it is another thing too yea i am going to learn to sail before across the ocean by my self
So when I tried to buy the course it came included with a extra card that I couldn’t remove but it also won’t let me buy the extra card without taking the course so now I can’t take the course. Can anyone help
I went to the website you suggested and got BOMBARDED with pop up ads! So much so that I couldn’t even get through the article before every part of the page was covered up! Sorry, but I cannot recommend the link you gave.
why in the world does someone in Texas need to get a Tennessee Boater Education Card? Its wrong in the video and its still wrong on your website as of 04/15/2021.
@@luisnegrete4885 the card is $10. But price varies on cite you do it at. Its like 6 hours long. Theirs like 5 pieces, with like up to 18-25 slides, & 5, 10 question test & last theirs a 60 question test. Were i did it at

The CBR is taking exams nowadays. But you need to learn all BPR,RPR,BVA Water laws regulations. Thats a 5 cm thick book with only Police Laws and Regulations. Also you need to learn everything about Meteorology. It is a PITA to learn. So only people that can study good and have money are making a change to get a Boat 1 Licence.
Okay I'll debate you, even though I won't be much of a debate, because I like your videos and I find you very knowledgeable, all right I was born in 1964 why should I get my boat license and if you insist that I have to get my boat license what are the pros and cons, I guess this ain't debating and I told you it wouldn't be much of a debate it's more of a question so I intend to sail around the world and this is not a scenario will I need those license and other places in the world or if I grandfather in all the way around the world which now at this moment as of you are December the 2nd 2020 I am now 56 years old and I'm not getting any younger and I want to go and I'm the one that said that I bought me a lancer 42 masthead sloop and I was looking for one person that was knowledgeable that wants to go along for the adventure and I am the person that said that I was going to make about a 5-year trip out of it, so say I don't have my boating license but what if I have my passport and my state ID from where I live to go with me tell me what the advantages and disadvantages of the whole nine yards please.

Yes and it’s ‘98 and after, before that people had common sense, well no I take that back the govt didn’t figure out something else to charge people to HAVE to get..

What if you just want a license from outside the USA..?
Unfortunately the link within your website to take the class online is not available for the state of NJ.

In TN you only do the only test if you are born on January 1 1989 and before anyone after that date has to acutely go take a class
The website is for sailboats. What about regular boats like 50 foot yachts?

@@austinsteil7913 have you figured it out?
Is this for a Captains license or for the required boat safety course? Thank You in advance
You will need it to obtain the Captain's license now. At least in Florida
does each person who utilizes a jetski, need a boaters license?
Since my boaters license is for my state and I want to travel let's say to Florida. Do I need a license for each individual state I travel through??
Is this required for sailboats? And do you need a captains license fo sailing single hand.
I do not see an option for Connecticut, why?
The link on your site for Massachusetts doesn't have Mass listed as one of the official state-approved courses available

Yeah
For some odd reason when I click on the link for Virginia and I try to take the course my state does not show up.
