I genuinely enjoyed it. Teacher was fantastic and engaging, and I like that he kept us reading so we were involved. I'm a veteran teacher and found the presentation to be appropriately paced and the reminders to be very helpful. He gave us the information we needed, but also additional items that weren't on the test which gave me confidence to get on the water safely. It was exactly what I was looking for in a boating class.

The course was extremely educational and covered more topics than I could have imagined to prepare first time boat operators for the water. Our teacher did a tremendous job presenting the materials with a perfect balance of "book" topics and real life scenarios from his 40+ years of boating in addition to adding a touch of humor. I would highly recommend this course to anyone looking to get their Connecticut boating license!

Cannot believe how much fun I had. I’m not one to be excited for instructional courses like this but I knew almost immediately it was going to be great. Our teacher was super funny, very informative, keeps it interesting, & above all, helps you understand the information in a way that sticks. I’d recommend this to absolutely everyone who’s looking to get their boating license, I’d take it twice if I could. Thanks again!

A great course. A lot of crucial information was well presented by a knowledgeable and engaging teacher. I have been on and around boats my entire life and I found the course informative and useful. My girlfriend, who had very little boating experience walking in, left with a competent understanding of the rules of the water and basic boater safety. I would recommend it to a friend.

I liked the professional but easy-going manner in which the material was presented. I especially liked the class participation in the readings, as well as the questions after each section which helped to retain the information from each section. Now I need instruction in how to actually sail my 1980 Pearson 26 weekender-just a slight upgrade from my kayak!!! Thank you.

Great instructor, did a good job bringing some entertainment into the course to keep his students engaged and interested, while also being very informative and professional.
The instructor was very fluid, funny, but quite informative. He did an incredible job of making students forget they were in a class all day on a Saturday, while the sun was shining.

About the Boater Exam and all the Jargon...

In order to get an Official Connecticut Boating License, you need to pass the Boater Exam.
You do that by taking a Boating Education Course.  Seems logical enough.

Getting a Boat License

To get an OFFICIAL CONNECTICUT BOATING LICENSE in 2022-23

  • To begin with, take a one day Boaters class.  As long as you pass the exam, you’ll earn your Connecticut Boating License.
  • Initially, the boat license consisted of just the Safe Boating Certificate.  However sometimes referred to as a Boat Safety Certificate.  That is to say, both are the same.
  • So, then the Certificate of Personal Watercraft Operation (PWC Boating) was added to the Safe Boating Certificate Course in 1996.
  • Likewise, on October 1st of 2015 Emily’s Law was enacted.  Hence requiring that all boaters must also have the Waterski Towing Endorsement.  Consequently, Connecticut added it to the boat licensing program.
  • To clarify, since 2016 the 1-Day class is three pronged.  That is to say, it includes the SBC (Safe Boating Certificate), the CPWO (Certificate of Personal Watercraft Operation), and the SWE (Safe Waterskiing Endorsement) materials.
The Boaters Exam & Test

The BOATERS EXAM or BOATING TEST

  • In the first place, the final exam for the Boating Education Course is multiple choice.
  • Therefore, all Boaters must pass the Connecticut Boaters exam.  As a result you’ll get your Connecticut Boaters License.
  • Above all, you have to attend a boating education course to take this exam.
  • Conversely, if you do not pass the Boaters Exam you can try again with us.
  • Indeed the way to take the Boaters Exam in Connecticut is by attending a Boating Course.
  • Above all, Safe boating is the Goal here and you’ll benefit from any education.
The Boating Education Course

The BOATING EDUCATION COURSE or BOAT COURSE

  • Firstly the Connecticut Boating Course is an 8-hour 1-Day Course.  This is in fact mandated by the State of Connecticut.
  • Secondly, it is only offered by Federally and State Licensed providers.  To emphasize the course is really geared towards Safe Boating.
  • Thirdly, CONNECTICUT BOATING CERTIFICATES LLC is Federally and State Licensed to offer this 1-Day course.
  • In conclusion, we are proud to serve you and want to help you get your BOAT LICENSE!
Have an Existing Safe Boating Certificate

Already have your OFFICIAL CONNECTICUT BOATING LICENSE

  • For example, you completed your licensing course before October 1st, 2015.  In short you are grandfathered in for the Safe Waterskiing Endorsement.
  • In addition, anyone who has just a Safe Boating Certificate has two options,
1. Firstly they may retake the course.  Not only does the new course includes Waverunners and Jet Skis but also includes the Safe Waterskiing Endorsement too.
2. Secondly they may take the Upgrade class in Hartford. (Check with the DEEP for availability.)
