Boating License?

Question

Does anyone know how old you have to be before you don't have to pay to get your boating license? We live in Alabama

Answer 1

I think its 13 years old. I live in PA although. I was brought up in a family that boated for years and I am going to follow the tradition because I love to boat so I'm pretty sure it is 13.

Answer 2

◆ If you are under 12 years of age: You may not obtain your Alabama boater
safety certification, and you may not operate a vessel under any circumstances.
◆ If you are 12 or 13 years of age: You may obtain your Alabama boater safety
certification. After obtaining the certification, you may operate a vessel legally
only if supervised on board by a person who:
• Is at least 21 years of age and ...
• Carries a valid proof of his or her Alabama boater safety certification and ...
• Is in position to take immediate physical control of the vessel.
◆ If you are 14 years of age or older: After obtaining Alabama boater safety
certification, you may operate a vessel without supervision legally.
