It depends on where you live as to whether you need a boating license to drive a boat. Canada requires that you have a pleasure craft operator card. You get this card by either taking a classroom course, taking an online course, or by taking the test without taking a class first. You can take the test without having a course first if you have already taken a boating safety course. Boating can be great for summer recreation but they are also very dangerous if you are not careful.

Taking on the responsibility of boating bares just as much importance as the getting behind the wheel of a car. Unfortunately, too many people do not take the time to learn all the ins and outs of the boating laws in their provinces, resulting in high fines. This can completely take away from what is meant to be an enjoyable summer time experience. In order to be responsible, take the time to learn about the following aspects that are important when you are going to be operating a boat.

If you ask: do I need a boat license to drive a boat, the quick answer is you do not. But you do need proof of competency as evidenced by a pleasure craft operator permit or card (PCOC). Canada moved some time ago to increase safety for all recreational boaters and other users of its waterways. As of September 15, 2009, all recreational boaters in Canada are required to have the PCOC certification. This and related requirements are set out in the national Competency of Operators of Pleasure Craft Regulations.

Any boat lover knows a top goes a long way in protecting anyone onboard from too much sun or foul weather when it strikes. When the boat is loaded, using Bimini tops alternative a boat targa top may be a better choice. They are going to hold up much better to extreme weather and will go a long way in keeping everyone dry.

Esential gear to bring on a boating trip is like beauty - it depends on the eye of the beholder. You may not want to step off the dock without a double pack of light beer, while your wife would really like to take the kitchen sink. But probably there is a middle ground where we all can agree that some things are really necessary. You should ensure you have a valid operator card for boating in Canada.

Canada is home to beautiful oceans, lakes, and rivers that make for wonderful boating excursions. In Canada, before you board any recreational watercraft that has a motor, including a motor boat, and explore the diverse and stunning country, you are required to have a Operator Card for Pleasure Crafts. The card is similar to a driver’s license that proves you are competent to safely operate a motor boat. One who operates a motor boat in Canada must keep the card on them at all times.
