New NY boating certificate req'd in 2025

[hartattack]

For those of us that traverse NY waters, please be aware of this:
As of January 1, 2020, New York will begin a phase-in-by-age law that will require a new age group to become certified each year, requiring all motorized boat and PWC operators to pass a boater safety course and to carry a New York boater card by January 1, 2025. All motorized boat operators born on or after January 1, 1993, will be required to carry the New York boater card

Most of us won’t ever have to worry about that regulation lol

Some corrections

As of 1/1/2025 ALL ages are required to have a NASBLA Approved Boating Safety Certificate. It's been phasing in by ages for last 6 years. Its fully done now.

Anyone with a valid BSC from their home state is deemed compliant.

Since NJ requires a BSC for all ages to legally run a power vessel in NJ (since 2009) - theres NOTHING legal NJ Boaters have to do to be compliant in NYS.

I teach the NYS BSC administered by NYS Parks & Recreation out o Albany.

Also unlike NJ, a BSC lets a 10 year old (not 16) run unlimited horse power vessels in NYS. Also NYS age threshold on PWC's is 13 not 16 years old like NJ.

Hope that clarifies things? WE DO NOTHING TO RUN IN NY WATERS.
