Frequently Asked Questions

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

For state-law purposes, a person must be at least 12 to operate alone a motorized vessel over 8.5 horsepower, while anyone renting a personal watercraft must be at least 16. An operator under 12 must have a supervisor aboard who is at least 18 and able to take immediate control; if that supervisor was born after January 1, 1989, the supervisor also needs a TWRA boating safety certificate. Tennessee residents born after January 1, 1989 operating over 8.5 horsepower need the TWRA certificate; nonresidents in that birth-date group need a NASBLA-approved certificate. The rental operator sets its own minimum, so confirm it when booking.

Do you need a boating license in Tennessee?

Yes, Tennessee requires many recreational operators to carry boating safety certification. Residents born after January 1, 1989, operating vessels over 8.5 horsepower need TWRA certification; nonresidents in that age group may use a NASBLA approved certificate. The rule includes personal watercraft. Operators under 12 need an adult at least 18 aboard who can immediately take control, while anyone under 16 may not rent a personal watercraft.

Motorized boat renters generally receive a TWRA approved safety orientation. Certification exemptions also include engines of 8.5 horsepower or less, sailboats under sail alone, and operation with a qualifying adult aboard. The TWRA app may show certification while awaiting the card; an exam permit alone is not proof. TWRA administers the program.

What are the best places to go boating in Tennessee?

The best places to boat in Tennessee are the state’s large reservoirs and scenic river corridors. In West Tennessee, Pickwick Lake offers broad water for cruising; in Middle Tennessee, Center Hill Lake provides open water; and in East Tennessee, Norris Lake combines a large reservoir with mountain scenery. Around Chattanooga, Chickamauga Lake supports boating and fishing, while the Tennessee River provides a different experience through the city and into the river gorge. Together, these waters offer lake cruising, water sports, fishing and river sightseeing.
