Summer’s here and Washington’s waterways are buzzing—whether you’re cruising the Puget Sound or the Columbia River, know the rules before you cast off. Powerboat operators 12+ and jet ski riders 14+ need a boater education card; rentals require you to be 16. The card is mandatory for any motorized vessel with 15+ horsepower, valid for life, and must be obtained within 60 days of purchase—unless you’re born before 1955 or operating a commercial or racing vessel with proper licensing. Pass an online safety course (some free, some paid) to get your temporary certificate, then apply for the official card—and always carry it: no card? An $87 fine awaits. Safety gear? U.S. Coast Guard-approved life jackets for everyone, a sound-producing device like a whistle, and often a fire extinguisher. Watch those flags: a skier-down flag means you need a spotter. And never, ever boating under the influence—alcohol’s effects are magnified on the water. Stay sober, stay safe, and enjoy responsibly.
