Wondering if your current certificate or license will make the cut?

The State of New Hampshire will accept the following state agency and NASBLA approved certificates:

• A certificate issued by another State agency and NASBLA approved

• A certificate issued by the US Power Squadron

• A certificate issued by the US Coast Guard Auxiliary

• A valid commercial license issued by the US Coast Guard

• A valid commercial (boating) license issued by the State of New Hampshire

• Please visit www.boat-ed.com/nh  or call  1-888-254-2125 if further information is needed.

We can grant you a 14-day temporary license if you pass an online test at our location on or before the day of your reservation.  It is a difficult test and we recommend obtaining the full safety certificate online

How to Test for your NH Boaters License?

• If you’re renting one of our boats over 25HP the state of New Hampshire requires all operators to have a NH Boating Safety Certificate, or a NASBLA approved boaters license from another state (see below.) 

• We recommend taking a NASBLA approved course and test prior to your arrival. You can review Boating Education info from the state of New Hampshire here. We can grant you a 14-day temporary license if you pass a test at our location on or before the day of your reservation! 

• This is an “official test” that smart people routinely fail, so we recommend you study the New Hampshire Boater’s Guide before giving it a go. It only costs $20 each time to take it, that’s pass or fail. 

  We are unable to refund rental booking payments due to failed attempt, and failing the test does NOT void our cancellation policy, We will do our best to reschedule based on our availability if you fail the test.
