About the Course
What is the course about and why do I need it?
At this time, Alaska has no mandatory education requirements. However, the Alaska Office of Boating Safety highly recommends that all boaters take boating courses relevant to their type of boating, and then continue to refresh and build on their knowledge over time.
On waters of state parks in Alaska all operators under 14 years of age must be accompanied by an adult.
