7.1.2.2 CERTIFICATE OF PERSONAL WATERCRAFT OPERATION (CPWO)
A Certificate of Personal Watercraft Operation will allow an individual to operate any recreational vessel including personal watercraft (or jet-ski style vessel). To obtain a CPWO an applicant must meet all requirements for a SBC and complete a separate approved course in personal watercraft (PWC) operation and safety, or complete an approved combined course that teaches both safe boating and safe personal watercraft operation. Once the course is completed, the individual must pass a proctored examination, then make application with a $50.00 fee.
No person (under any circumstances) shall operate a PWC without having in his or her possession a certificate of personal watercraft operation (CPWO).
