Age Requirements
Q. What is the minimum age to operate a Powered Vessel including Personal Watercraft (PWC) in Connecticut?

A. Any boater LESS than 12 years old who possesses a Safe Boating Card (SBC) or Certificate of Personal Watercraft Operation (CPWO) may operate a boat up to 10 hp alone. To operate a boat over 10 hp, the child operator must possess a SBC/CPWO AND be accompanied by an adult (18+ years of age) who also possesses a SBC or CPWO. Boaters 12 years and OLDER can operate a boat alone but MUST have their SBC/CPWO.

As of January 1, 2004, the minimum age to operate a PWC (i.e. jet ski) alone is 16. This is for all CPWO issued after 31 December 2003. Anyone 15 and under MUST possess their CPWO and MUST be accompanied by someone 18 or older who has had their CPWO for at least two years.
