Michigan boater education

Michigan currently requires a boater education card from all boaters born after June 30, 1996, and from all personal watercraft operators who operate a vessel in Michigan.

Additionally, many insurance agencies offer a boat insurance discount for all boaters who have taken a boating safety course.
