Frequently Asked Questions

How old do you have to be to rent a boat in West Virginia?

In West Virginia, you must be at least 18 to rent a personal watercraft; for other motorboats, legal operating age depends on horsepower and supervision. Under 58 CSR 25, unsupervised operation generally begins at 15. Ages 12 through 14 may operate a motorboat up to 10 horsepower alone, but a person over 18 must be aboard for a higher powered motorboat. Personal watercraft operators ages 12 through 14 need someone 18 or older aboard.

Under West Virginia Code §20-7-12b, operators born on or after December 31, 1986, need a boating safety education certificate, subject to listed exceptions. Rental operators may set their own minimums, so confirm the age requirement when booking.
