| The WV Division of Natural Resources will hold a Boater Education Course in Calhoun County at the Grantsville Volunteer Fire Dept. on Saturday from 5 to 8 p.m.
Students must be at least 11 years of age to be certified. The course is open to the public and is free of charge.
The 2000 West Virginia Legislature passed a mandatory boating education law that became effective January 1. 2001. The law requires that any person born after December 31, 1986 must successfully complete a boating education course and receive a certification card to operate a motorboat on the waters of the State.
Personal watercraft and electric powered boats are classified as motorboats therefore the Boating Education certification will also be required to operate these vessels.
Class size is limited so pre-registration is required. If you would like to register or need additional Information, please contact the WV DNR District VI office at 304-420-4550 Monday through Friday between the hours of 8 a.m. and 5 p.m.
