REQUIREMENTS

DO I NEED A BOATING LICENSE TO RENT A BOAT?​

Operators who plan to rent a motorized recreational boat in Canada are required to carry proof of competency on board during operation. Proof of competency may take the form of a PCOC (boating license), or a completed rental boat safety checklist. The completed checklist is valid only for the rental period and must be carried on board the boat at all times.
