BOATsmart!® is Accredited by Transport Canada to educate and certify boaters for their Pleasure Craft Operator Card in both official languages. We’re proud to be Canada’s Boating Educator. We’re also proud to be recognized in the United States by NASBLA (National Association of State Boating Law Administrators). The BOATsmart! Pleasure Craft Operator Card is valid in more than 40 U.S. states.

As with all provinces in Canada, a Pleasure Craft Operator Card is required, when operating motorized vessels – regardless of age, size of boat or engine horsepower. It’s the law. New Brunswick boat operators caught without a Pleasure Craft Operator Card face a minimum $250 fine.

The Official Transport Canada Pleasure Craft Operator Card exam is available online, with a temporary licence issued as soon as you pass, so you can get out on the water right away. Guaranteed pass – Certified for life – Go boating right away!
