Louisiana Boating Course
The Louisiana boater education certificate (commonly known as the Louisiana boating license) is proof that a boater has successfully completed a boating safety course.
Persons born after January 1, 1984, may not operate a motorboat or PWC powered by a motor in excess of 10 horsepower unless he or she has successfully completed a boating safety course approved by the National Association of State Boating Law Administrators (NASBLA). These persons must be in possession of evidence of completion of the approved course whenever operating such a vessel. It is illegal for anyone under the age of 16 years to operate a personal watercraft (PWC).
Even if not required by law to get the Louisiana boating license, many boaters take the boat safety course in order to save on their PWC or boat insurance.
