Kansas Boating Regulations

The Kansas Boater Education Card (also referred to as the Kansas boating license) is proof that a boater has taken and passed an approved boater education course. The Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks currently offers a Boater Education Card to prove that you are a safe boater. This can have benefits such as savings on marine insurance.

Many boating fatalities occur because boaters aren't educated about boating safety. Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks believes that an educated boater is a safer boater.
