? for Jersey people

[neilinov]

If I am taking a boat to NJ do I have to take the NJ boat course or does this just apply to NJ residents?

You would need the equivalent certificate from your state, or your ticket, I believe

Here is the link to the State Police site FAQ.... I think # 3 addresses your question.

We are from Jersey how the hell would we know? we still have not got any real clear answers in this state........

In New Jermany, oops, I mean new jersey you need a certification for everything.

And the next Boaters Course I offer is this weekend in Ocean City, $60

Hey Neil if they accept other state certs, you can take PAs online and print it out right then, they will send you a plastic card in the mail but it takes about 2 weeks. I think its $25 bucks wether you are a resident or not. Does this NJ requirement apply to coastal waters as well or just lakes and rivers? I cant see how they would be able to enforce that with transient cruisers passing through say the Intercoastal or near shore. Some states dont require any cert.

Thanks fellas. Looks as if as long as I have my ticket with me I'll be OK
