Do I need a licence to drive a boat?

If you have an Ontario Pleasure Craft Operator Card, bring it with you. But, not to worry, if you don’t have one that’s ok. When you are issued with your boat, our staff will have you complete and sign a boat safety checklist. Anytime you are in the boat, you will need to have the checklist available to show a Ministry of Natural Resources officer or the OPP (Ontario Provincial Police) should you be stopped.
