In Maryland, the law states that anyone born on or after July 1, 1972, must possess a certificate of boating safety education in order to operate any motorized vessel.
Any further questions can be answered by contacting the Natural Resources Police Safety Education Section at (410) 643-8502.
As of October 1, 2010, anyone under the age of 16, operating a motorized vessel 11 feet in length or greater WITHOUT a valid boating safety certificate, must be under the supervision of an individual 18 years of age or older who possesses a valid boating safety certificate or an individual born before July 1, 1972. If an individual under the age of 16 is operating a motorized vessel LESS than 11 feet in length, a person of any age possessing a valid certificate of boating safety can provide supervision.
If you are fishing in Maryland or Virginia salt and tidal waters, you may need to register others fishing with you. This link refers you to the Maryland DNR site for an explanation of this process.
