Legal Requirements

There are a lot of important things to consider as you get into boating, or as you travel from state to state, or as you raise up your youngsters on the boat. Every state has different laws and requirements for safety equipment, age of operators, and trailering restrictions. Use this section to find out, state by state, how old you need to be to drive a boat, what you need to have onboard, and whether or not you need to have brakes on your trailer.
