Who Needs a Pleasure Craft Operator Card?
All motorised boat operators in Canada must have evidence of competence, such as a Pleasure Craft Operator Card (more generally known as a boating licence) irrespective of age, boat length or engine horsepower, other than in the waters of the Northwest Territories and Nunavut. Operating without evidence of competence could result in a fine of $250.00. If your boat has a motor, even those smaller than 10hp or an electric trolling engine, you need a operators card.
