Do I have to get a Indiana boater safety course certificate (Indiana boaters license)?
• Motorboat operators who are 15 years of age may operate a motorboat or PWC until they become a licensed driver only if they complete a boater education course approved by the Department of Natural Resources and have on board an ID card issued by the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV). A person who has never been licensed by the BMV must complete an approved boater education course successfully and have on board an ID issued by the Indiana BMV to operate a motorboat legally. No one under 15 years of age may legally operate a motorboat greater than 10 horsepower or a PWC.
