    All PWC operators must be a minimum of 14 years old – no one under the age of 14 may operate a PWC.

    PWC Operation – Education is Mandatory for All PWC Operators:

    All personal watercraft operators must take an 8-hour classroom based boating safety course and successfully complete the proctored exam before they can operate a PWC on any waters of New York.
    Programs offered by the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary and the U.S. Power Squadrons are acceptable.
    Young boater safety certificates previously issued by New York State satisfy the educational requirements.

    All PWC operators must be a minimum of 14 years old – no one under the age of 14 may operate a PWC.
    No one under the age of 16 may rent a personal watercraft. Those under 18 years of age wishing to rent a personal watercraft must possess a boating safety education certificate.

    Good luck!
    Have a good one! Capt. John
