Boating Safety Certificates

Boaters born after June 30, 1996, and most personal watercraft operators who operate a vessel in Michigan must have a boater education card (boating safety certificate). Students can earn their boater safety certificate by completing the traditional classroom, online or interactive course.

A certificate is obtainable online at BoatereExam.com, Boat-Ed.com, or by attendance at a local safety class.
