A boater certification card is required by law for any person born after January 1, 1984 before operating any motorized vessel on Missouri lakes. The law went into effect for Missouri residents on January 1, 2005 and January 1, 2006 for non-Missouri residents.
Anyone wanting to operate a boat including personal water craft should take a boater education course. There is no age limit on who can take the course; however, that person should be able to follow the course material and understand its meaning. Missouri law states the operator of a boat must be 14 years or older unless accompanied by an adult. Anyone born after January 1, 1984 also must carry their boater certification card and a photo ID.
To register for the class go to www.cassmosheriff.org/class . Class size is limited.
