Yes. If you’re at least 15 years of age and you’re operating a motorized boat or PWC in Indiana and you don’t have an Indiana driver’s license, you must have an Indiana Boater Education Card and it must be carried on board during boat operation.
There are some great benefits to being a BOATsmart! cardholder – once you’ve obtained your BOATsmart! Card, it will be good for life, it will keep you legal when boating in other states and you’ll recieve boat insurance discounts.
