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.
