“How to get your boating license in 3 minutes”
10 seconds later in the video:
“You need to spend about 3 hours doing this course”
The video is 3 minutes lmao
@@BourbonBBQ I understand that. The wording in the title is still very deceptive
Facts
I want to get my boat license, buy a boat and just live at sea
Nice
you very help much thanks :)
Seriously thanks for simplifying this whole process for me and showing me where to go instead of me searching the interwebs for a long time, it helped a lot.
I'm from fiji and over here, there are different groups of licence for different types of boat ..much simpler for usa boaters
Thank you my man
It's really THAT EASY? Saving this video.
I have also subscribed. Not yet a boat owner, but that is the current and future of my life. Working only towards boat ownership.
(so if anyone in florida or louisiana, any southern state that isn't texas, has an opening for a guy...)
Thank you the video is informative
Taking my GF of 5 years jet sking at a resort near Niagara falls for our anniversary, just recently found out you needed a license, got scared for a second there. Thanks for the help!
@@macklannoo774 hello i know this is a month late but if you still are looking for it, here you go. www.boat-ed.com/tennessee/
Did you ever do it?
I love his straightforwardness 😂😂
The ICC Boat license 1 in the Netherlands is very difficult. During the exam you have to know a 2 inch thick book with RPR,BPR water laws & regulations. And i mean everything. Also many exam questions about sailing. So if you only want to fish on a Jon boat with 20HP you need to lear everything about sailing and all water laws rules rpr, bpr. Most ICC exams outside Europe are way easier.
For some reason I want one but I don’t even live anywhere near any water
6 unit course, practice exam and certification test 60 questions, took me 2 days to get it done
This is crazy, I am taking the course for days
I got mine in South Carolina. Even though it wasn't required for me, I've completed course anyway to lower down my insurance.
Thanks I love your talking way
In Cali, it's a Boater Card, not a license as it's a one time fee and it never expires. Licenses expire. Current cost is $10 for lifetime. You
have to pass an approved online course and then you'll receive your card by mail. The online course can range between $29 and $35. Note: A Boater Card is required for all applicants under the age of 20 operating a motorized vessel on state waterways. All applicants, regardless of age, will be required to hold a boater card after 2025. Source: CA DMV
Thank you I’m interested getting a boat
so i am trying to get jetskis for the family, for all those who are over 21: do any of them need a card/license? because ive heard through my cousin that people were getting their jetskis towed for not having a license
@@infernalmonolizer2539I know this is old but 2023 40 years and younger are required to have a boaters card
We know it’s not a boating license. We just call it that as a slang and to shorten the term. For instance, a Near Coastal Master License is not really a captain’s license, but people call it a captain’s license for a short term/slang.
Thank you
Unfortunately the link within your website to take the class online is not available for the state of NJ.
Thank you sir
the question could you take about the different sailboats vs catamaran to across the ocean too
The link on your site for Massachusetts doesn't have Mass listed as one of the official state-approved courses available
Nj is about 6 hours online course. Then take in person test
Was the in person test hard?
I watched your video last week so I went a head and did it but study for a week first then sit the test today and it so happens that I passed< bro I was shocked. it coast me $34.99 + $9.99 for a extra card just incase I loose the other one. It coast me $44 in all and 5 hours to do it.
For some odd reason when I click on the link for Virginia and I try to take the course my state does not show up.
wow here in Canada with having pretty much the same way they should have a different test for the land lock waters like lakes and rivers that don't access any river that leads to an ocean or a larger body of water that have large shipping in them yea do think when you plan on sailing you not a special license and a course to take too
i know i am inland locked waters have NO experience in radios use or ocean laws
yes i am looking into learning all of this as to who is qualified to teach it is another thing too yea i am going to learn to sail before across the ocean by my self
Hello, Is it valid in Europe too?
Since my boaters license is for my state and I want to travel let's say to Florida. Do I need a license for each individual state I travel through??
Is this for a Captains license or for the required boat safety course? Thank You in advance
You will need it to obtain the Captain's license now. At least in Florida
What if I live in Canada but will fly down to Florida to buy a boat. And wanna sail out of Florida to the Caribbean, im gonna need this license to sail out of Florida
Same steps?
In TN you only do the only test if you are born on January 1 1989 and before anyone after that date has to acutely go take a class
Is this required for sailboats? And do you need a captains license fo sailing single hand.
hold on you can get a license online without any physical lessons and exams? how someone can operate a boat , how to dock and all that if there is no practical exam and lessons?
Is it possible for tourists? It is valid overseas?
What if you just want a license from outside the USA..?
does each person who utilizes a jetski, need a boaters license?
Hey ? What's that Six Pack thing I hear people talking about ?
The website is for sailboats. What about regular boats like 50 foot yachts?
Why does the site only have certain states you can take the course. For
Wow that easy
So when I tried to buy the course it came included with a extra card that I couldn’t remove but it also won’t let me buy the extra card without taking the course so now I can’t take the course. Can anyone help
I do not see an option for Connecticut, why?
My state requires a certificate and license but it’s not listed on the website that you listed to use what a bummer know I have to go down to the DNR to require both waste of time watching this video.
Bro why did u stop making videos?
That's hilarious I'm grandfathered in since I was born before the cut off. I'm only 37.
You have to click on “ do you need a license to sail around the world”
Anyone born after September 1993 in Texas must take a course. I was offended when they said I didn't need to take the course. Do I really look 68? Arrggg!
Maybe I'll teach the course!?
I don't dare so I will just go and get it
nice
Just discouraged me on building a tug boat.everything is so baby sat in money
Oregon’s not on there for some reason, do you guys have a solution?
Yeah
Did they hire this guy on fivver?
Illinois is not there
I got my boating certifact from boat us foudachen got my license
Sadly here in aus you can not just get a license online :( you MUST do a online test then when you pass that you MUST come on for a 50 question theory (it’s multiple questions….but they don’t make it easy …maybe the first 10 are…then after that you have to really know your boating sht) to top that off you MUST get 100% or you FAIL( and that’s like 200-400$ down the drain ) if by some miracle you do pass…you must then prove your skills dams ability to drive for around 30m give or take ( IF) you pass that step you get a license ….currently it’s harder to get a boat license than a gun or a car …how that works idk….
why in the world does someone in Texas need to get a Tennessee Boater Education Card? Its wrong in the video and its still wrong on your website as of 04/15/2021.
You are correct, that was an error which is now fixed. Thanks for pointing it out here.
why does your background have the same color as jeffrey epstein island's temple
but how do you get it in The Netherlands?
The CBR is taking exams nowadays. But you need to learn all BPR,RPR,BVA Water laws regulations. Thats a 5 cm thick book with only Police Laws and Regulations. Also you need to learn everything about Meteorology. It is a PITA to learn. So only people that can study good and have money are making a change to get a Boat 1 Licence.
How do you get a tennesee one
It wasn’t on the website
@@austinsteil7913 have you figured it out?
How old do I have to be to take the test?
13 yrs or older I think
U mean 3hrs and 3 minutes?
He is just telling you for 3 min the course is longer
Lmao 🤣 ok I'll go get my license
I went to the website you suggested and got BOMBARDED with pop up ads! So much so that I couldn’t even get through the article before every part of the page was covered up! Sorry, but I cannot recommend the link you gave.
Title "Get Your Boating License in 3 MINUTES"
1:12 "It should take you couple of hours at most"
How old do I have to be
Most states 14 or older I think
Dam. So $10 bucks for boating card, then another 25-49 for the course. Dam CA! Just looking for more ways to get cash -.-
$60 bucks to get it in Ca?
@@luisnegrete4885 the card is $10. But price varies on cite you do it at.
Its like 6 hours long.
Theirs like 5 pieces, with like up to 18-25 slides, & 5, 10 question test & last theirs a 60 question test. Were i did it at
@@oswaldocastillo6305 thanks bro I’m looking to get one ASAP cause I’m picking up a boat tomorrow
@@luisnegrete4885 i got mine for that same reason, here at mission bay in san diego, USCG are checking for registration & boaters card before launching. Here rn at this moment lol,
@@oswaldocastillo6305 fucking California bro 👎🏼
Okay I'll debate you, even though I won't be much of a debate, because I like your videos and I find you very knowledgeable, all right I was born in 1964 why should I get my boat license and if you insist that I have to get my boat license what are the pros and cons, I guess this ain't debating and I told you it wouldn't be much of a debate it's more of a question so I intend to sail around the world and this is not a scenario will I need those license and other places in the world or if I grandfather in all the way around the world which now at this moment as of you are December the 2nd 2020 I am now 56 years old and I'm not getting any younger and I want to go and I'm the one that said that I bought me a lancer 42 masthead sloop and I was looking for one person that was knowledgeable that wants to go along for the adventure and I am the person that said that I was going to make about a 5-year trip out of it, so say I don't have my boating license but what if I have my passport and my state ID from where I live to go with me tell me what the advantages and disadvantages of the whole nine yards please.
I hope you get an answer brother, although I’m not knowledgeable I would love to sail around the world with you😂
@@mattadams7772 hey Matt how's it going buddy, yeah I guess I got a little bit antsy there I still I am planning on doing it but I guess it's covid I might have to wait another year or so until it gets under control, I understand just about every place I go I have to be quarantined at the moment good night I understand that most places is like Australia they put you up for 14 days and cost you about $3,500 well I guess I can have to wait just a little bit but it's going to be a something I definitely do they gave me a chance to reflect and get my affairs and a little bit better of order I stopped the sale on my house to where I could add on and get more out of it and I still have to get rid of my houseboat it's a big one so it's not going to be well it'll take the right buyer it's 15 ft wide and 54 ft long it's a beautiful one too so it's like I'm going to take another year to get everything in perfect tip top shape and that way I can even get me a nicer sailboat when I go, maybe me and you can have a little discussion on what would be good to look for since I'm a novice.
Is it like anybody born before like 1996 is grandfathered in
Yes and it’s ‘98 and after, before that people had common sense, well no I take that back the govt didn’t figure out something else to charge people to HAVE to get..
Actually it’s, January 1, 1989
@@blondeguy08 maybe it varies from state to state when they done it I live here in Arkansas and I was talking to core engineers when they told me that when they were inspecting my 54 ft houseboat
Getting a US boat license is as valuable as getting a tricycle license. What I need is an EU accepted offshore captain license. How do we get that?
California's Boater's Safety Course takes me about a week. So.....not easy. Not fast. Unless you already know everything in the course.
First of ☝️
3 minutes my ass
ripoff in CA
What do you mean? Is not accepted there?
