Boat License Question

White Rook · 07-27-2009, 01:44 PM

Hello All,

A question came up during a discussion this weekend at the marina. Here goes:

Two adults are in a powerboat. Both are experienced operators however, only one operator has a valid NH Boater's Certificate / License. Can this 'licensed' person legally allow the other, experienced but non-licensed operator drive the boat? My reply was no in that anyone actually operating the boat has to be licensed but several individuals were certain that this is legal. Thanks.
