What Boating or Marine License Do You Need?




Boat Registration and Marine Careers


Boat registration is a very simple process across the United States and is usually managed by the State Department of Motor Vehicles or in some cases the state agency that oversees wildlife. The length and type of boat affect the type of licensing involved. Check with your state government website to find out specific licensing for your situation.

In California boats must be registered before sailing either with the U.S. Coast Guard or Department of Motor Vehicles. Commercial boats weighing over five net tons or are over 30 feet in length must be registered by the U.S. Coast Guard. Sailboats oover eight feet long and all powerboats must be registered by the State Department of Motor Vehicles.
