Safe Boating Certificate Requirements?
Message:
Hi Everyone, I will be attending the B.A.S.S. Eastern Divsional event on the CT River this September in Hartford. Myself and 12 others from Ontario, Canada will be fishing in this event. Do we require a Safe Boating Certificate from the DEP to fish the CT River? We have a similar program in Ontario but I want to know if we require additional training in CT?

I am pretty sure that is for CT residents only but you may want to contact the DEP to confirm.

I didn't see anything about international, but here is an excerpt regarding out of state: 9. I live in another state. Do I need the Boating Certificate to operate my boat on Connecticut waters? The Safe Boating Certificate was designed for people who own property in the State of Connecticut, residents of the State of Connecticut or people who have a vessel required to be registered or display a Certificate of Decal in the State of Connecticut. If you live in another state and operate your vessel on Connecticut waters for more than sixty days in a calendar year, you will need the boating certificate. You will also need a Certificate of Decal (which is handled through DMV.)
