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.
