Minnesota's New Boater Education Law requires the following:

• 18 and older:
  
  • If renting from a rental business and from Minnesota: Must be an exempt operator; complete the Minnesota watercraft rental course (certification is good for 180 days); or already have or obtain a watercraft operator’s permit (certification is good for a lifetime).
  • If renting from a rental business, not from Minnesota, and using Minnesota’s waterways for fewer than 60 days: Must meet any applicable requirements of state or country of residency.
  • If renting from a resort and from Minnesota: Must meet watercraft operator permit age requirements. (Those born after June 30, 2004, must hold a valid watercraft operator’s permit.)
  • If renting from a resort, not from Minnesota, and using Minnesota’s waterways for fewer than 60 days: Must meet any applicable requirements of state or country of residency.
• Under 18:
  
  • Cannot rent watercraft, but Minnesota residents may operate rental watercraft if they have a valid watercraft operator’s permit. Non-residents under 18 also cannot rent watercraft but may operate rental watercraft if they’re using Minnesota’s waterways for fewer than 60 days and meet any applicable requirements of state or country of residency. (Please note: Rental businesses and resorts may also have their own requirements that are more stringent than state law.)
