Yes. In addition to the requirement to successfully complete an approved boating safety course, you must also have an FWC-issued Boating Safety Education Identification Card – along with a photo ID – in your possession to operate a motorboat of 10 horsepower or more. The Boating Safety Education Identification Card issued by FWC is the only document that meets the legal requirements.
