• All persons born after June 30, 1980, must have passed a boating education course approved by the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries & Parks to legally operate a vessel. In addition, a person less than 12 years of age must also be accompanied on board by someone who is at least 21 years old. Mississippi’s boating safety education requirements and laws about operating a boat or PWC are explained in detail on the Who May Operate a Vessel page.
