New Brunswick Boating License
If you're planning to boat on one of New Brunswick's lakes or take to the ocean off of the coast, New Brunswick boaters are required to carry a Pleasure Craft Operator Card*, commonly known as a boating license.
The boat license is required in New Brunswick when operating motorized vessels - regardless of age, size of boat or engine horsepower. It's the law. New Brunswick boat operators caught without a boating license face a minimum $250 fine.
Need to get certified? The official Transport Canada boat license exam is available online. New Brunswick boaters who take the boating license exam online can complete the official safe boating course and open book exam from the comfort of home, and no supervisor is required.
Need your boating license today? Upon successful completion of the exam, boaters can print a temporary card immediately and the permanent Pleasure Craft Operator Card is mailed within 4-6 weeks. Once obtained, your boat card is good for life and valid in all Canadian provinces.
