All persons 21 years old and younger who operate a motorized vessel on Florida waters are required to have their Florida Boating Safety Education I.D. Card (also mistakenly referred to as the 'Florida Boating License') in possession at the time of operation.

The BoaterExam.com course and final exam is free: students pay a one-time fee of $29.95 only when they pass the final exam to obtain their official results. The permanent Boating Safety Education I.D. Card is sent by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission within 2-3 weeks. The Card is good for life and never needs to be renewed. Passing a boater education course may also result in a discount for boat or personal watercraft insurance. For complete Florida boating regulations visit www.myfwc.com .
