Alberta Boating License
If you're planning to boat on one of Alberta's lakes, Alberta boaters are required to carry a Pleasure Craft Operator Card*, commonly known as a boating license.
The boat license is required in Alberta when operating motorized vessels - regardless of age, size of boat or engine horsepower. It's the law. Alberta boat operators caught without a boating license face a minimum $250 fine.
Need to get certified? The official Transport Canada boat license exam is available online. Alberta boaters who take the boating license exam online can complete the official safe boating course and open book exam from the comfort of home, and no supervisor is required.
Need your boating license today? Upon successful completion of the exam, boaters can print a temporary card immediately and the permanent Pleasure Craft Operator Card is mailed within 4-6 weeks. Once obtained, your boat Card is good for life and valid in all Canadian provinces.
