Questions about the power boating prerequisites, read here:

NASBLA (National Association of State Boating Law Administrators ) Safe Boating certification. Earn your certification at one of US SAILING's Safe Powerboat Handling Courses or see a current list of approved providers. BoatUS is also a simple resource for this information, although not all states have approved their course. See available BoatUs online courses. Candidates holding a current USCG full or limited Master's or OUPV license are exempt from this requirement. Candidates have a responsibility to meet the boating laws of the state where the course is being held prior to being able to operate a powerboat in conjunction with the course. This is a new requirement. Please bring your certificate to the course.

I will be the Instructor Trainer, please let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you.
