All operators born AFTER Jan. 1, 1984, MUST have the MO Boating Safety Certification Card to legally operate a motorized vessel or PWC on any MO lake. Any person may take one of the Missouri boater education courses. There is no age limit on who can take the course; however, that person should be able to follow the course material and understand the content. Missouri law states the operator of a boat must be 14 years of age unless accompanied by an adult on board the vessel. A child under 14 years of age operating a vessel (on the lakes of the state) with adult supervision would still need a boater identification card.

The Water Patrol Division charges a $15.00 fee for the boater safety identification card and passing students will pay that fee online or by check through the postal system. There is no fee to take the classroom course which will be conducted by a local marine operations trooper.

Class size is limited so enroll today! Social Distancing AND Masks Required.
