About the Program
Overview:
Did you know that 70% of all boating fatalities occurred on boats where the operator did not receive boating safety instruction? Keep you and your family safe and meet the state education requirement. Nevada boaters born on or after January 1, 1983 are required to complete a Nevada Department of Wildlife approved boater education course before operating a boat on interstate waters. It’s also why NDOW strongly recommends everyone get their boating education card before heading out on the water.
In-person courses are available through the US Coast Guard Auxiliary and the US Power Squadron.
