The Nebraska Boating Safety course is required of all power boat operators under the age of 18, which includes operators of personal watercraft and all other motorboats. The minimum age to operate a boat in Nebraska is 14.
The six-hour class covers everything from equipment requirements to safe boat operation and accident prevention, and is a great course for both new and experienced boaters. Boat owners who complete the class may qualify for insurance discounts. Parents are encouraged to attend with their children and boaters of all ages are welcome.
The next class is TBA.
