Do you need a boating license to drive a pontoon boat?

If so, how old do you have to be to get a boating license? Thanks.|||yes





New York requires a Boater Education Card for boaters, and not a boating license. The regulatory authority for the card is New York State Parks.





Persons above the age of 14 are allowed to operate a personal watercraft if they possess the above mentioned certificate. Until the year 2009, boaters of the age 10-13 are allowed to operate personal watercrafts with some restrictions. Persons between 10-18 years of age are allowed to operate motorboats if they possess the safety certificate. Persons under the age of 10 are allowed to operate motorboats (excluding personal watercrafts) if they are under the supervision of someone above the age of 18 or someone between the age of 10-18 who has completed the Boaters Safety Education course and holds a certificate.
