Homewood, reference: “Just so I am clear. ANYBODY who operates a boat in NH needs an actual NH boating license? So if I were to come up this summer, I could not just take the family boat out and operate it under my North Carolina drivers license like I have been doing? How about row boats with engines?”

It is a certificate that is required. Licenses expire, certificates do not. Check these out:

Your best bet is to get into a local class or if that is not convenient, take an equivalent course in your state then obtain a NH Boaters guide for the latest on NH Laws. Become familiar with those laws and requirements, particularly one called Safe Passage. Call Marine Patrol or Boaters Education and they will be glad to mail you the latest copy. Copies are also available at local Marinas and sporting goods stores.

Airwaves, reference: “So, do I still need to pass a NH course or is my US Coast Guard Aux certificate valid even though I am seeking retirement status from the Coast Guard Aux?”
