Missouri Boating Regulations and Laws
The Missouri Boating Safety Certification Card (commonly known
as a Missouri boating license) is proof that a boater has successfully
completed a boating safety course.
Missouri
law places restrictions
on boat and PWC operation for those under 14 years of age.
In addition, passing an approved
boating safety course is required for all persons born after
January 1, 1984 in order to operate any vessel on the lakes of
Missouri.
Even if not required by law to get the Missouri boating license,
many boaters take the boat safety course in order to save on their
PWC or boat insurance.
