Mandatory Boater
Education in Washington
In 2005, a law was passed requiring
boat operators to take a boater safety
education course in order to operate a
boat in Washington state. The law
applies to operators of motorboats with
15 horsepower or greater.

Boaters can take an education course in
a classroom, online or at home. Once the
course is completed and test passed,
boaters need to send a completed
application for their card.
If boaters already have taken an
approved boating class, they only need
to send in their application with
supporting documents to get a Boater
Education Card.
