IT'S THE LAW. A state approved safe boating class is required for persons born after 1978
who wish to operate a Personal Water Craft (PWC) or persons older than age 12 and born
after 1996 who want to operate a boat of 6 hp or more on Michigan waters. If you are within
these age groups you must carry the boating certificate with you while operating a PWC or
motorized boat. There is a stiff fine up to $100 for not having a boating class certificate.
Marinas may not rent a PWC to anyone born after 1978 without the boating certificate.
America's Boating Course or ABC-3 is offered late winter/ early spring in Battle Creek, and
offered both fall and winter in Kalamazoo. ABC is perfect for those just getting into boating,
who want to brush-up on their boating basics, or for those who are trying to decide what boat
to purchase. Contact class coordinator by phone or email. ABC and Youth Class Dates.
Boating Safety for Youth is offered late winter/early spring in Kalamazoo. Rather than drive
to Kalamazoo, young adults may take the ABC class in Battle Creek to earn their certificate.
