Temporary Boating Education Certificates Offered in Maine

BoatUS Foundation for Boating Safety and Clean Water is now offering a way for boaters to receive a temporary boating education certification to enjoy Maine waterways, just in time for boating season.

Endorsed by the Maine Division of Outdoor Recreation, this new testing option allows boaters to have a 14-day certification valid from the date of test completion.

This option provides the perfect opportunity for tourists or occasional renters to be able to boat while visiting the state of Maine and fulfills rental education requirements mandated by the state.

The self-paced test is available for a one-time fee of $8.99, typically takes 20-30 minutes to complete and is 25 questions in length. To pass, course-takers must receive a score of at least 80% but have unlimited tries to do so. Those who successfully complete the test will immediately be able to download a certificate of completion that can be printed or stored on a mobile device.
