Frequently Asked Questions

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

Kentucky’s legal minimum to operate a personal watercraft or motorboat over 10 horsepower without supervision is 12, provided an operator ages 12 through 17 possesses a safe boating certificate. Under KRS 235.285(7), a person under 12 may not operate either vessel class on Kentucky public waters. A 12 to 17 year old without the certificate may operate only while accompanied on board by a person age 18 or older or a person possessing a safe boating certificate. Nonresidents in that age range must possess a Kentucky certificate or recognized equivalent. Rental operators set their own booking minimums, so confirm the age requirement when reserving.

Do you need a boating license in Kentucky?

Kentucky does not require a general boating license for adults, but operators ages 12 through 17 need boating credentials when running a motorboat, including a personal watercraft, over 10 horsepower on public waters. Children under 12 may not operate those vessels. A qualifying youth may carry a Kentucky Safe Boating Certificate or proof of completing a NASBLA approved course, or be accompanied on board as allowed by state law. Equivalent credentials are accepted for nonresident youths. Renting does not create a separate exemption, and current state pages do not list a temporary rental certificate. The Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources administers boater education.

Where can you go boating from Benton, Kentucky?

From Benton, you can boat Kentucky Lake’s Jonathan Creek and Little Jonathan Creek, cross the lake to Pisgah Bay and Smith Bay, or continue through Barkley Canal to Lake Barkley. Launch at Jonathan Creek/US 68 or Little Jonathan Creek/KY 80; both have paved ramps for trailerable boats.

The two creek arms provide more enclosed water before opening onto Kentucky Lake’s broad main body. Pisgah Bay and Smith Bay are cove settings on the Land Between the Lakes shore, with ramps suitable for light trailerable boats. Lake Barkley makes a longer outing and is connected to Kentucky Lake by the canal.

What are the most popular boating destinations near Benton, Kentucky?

Good Kentucky Lake day trips from Benton include The Sands, Kenlake State Resort Park and Kentucky Dam Village State Resort Park. The Sands is a natural sandy shoreline normally reached by boat, where crews anchor offshore, swim and wade ashore. Kenlake makes a convenient stop for transient dockage, fuel and a meal at the park. Kentucky Dam Village is also accessible by boat and pairs seasonal marina dockage with a public sand beach and park dining, giving crews a place to tie up, eat and spend time ashore before returning.
