Card In the United States, more than 40 states have boater education requirements that must be successfully completed before you can legally operate your recreational vessel on state waters. You need boating education in Florida if you were born on or after January 1, 1988, and you will be operating a motorized boat of 10 hp or more. Successfully completing our approved boater safety course keeps you compliant with the boating laws in your state. **[Go to Course](https://learn.recademics.com/subscribe/boat_florida_at_the_helm_training)** ## **Make an Inquiry** ### Ready to Make Waves?
