BOATERexam.com®’s boat safety course allows boaters to meet mandatory education requirements and to obtain their official boater education card or boating license online. The Boatbound and BOATERexam.com® partnership will allow boaters in California and Florida to obtain these certifications entirely online and at no cost. In New York, where there is a required proctored exam, the partnership will help boaters prepare with a free online study guide.

Registering on Boatbound is free for both boat owners and renters. Boatbound allows boat owners to rent their boat to pre-screen, qualified renters, helping offset the cost of boat ownership. Boat owners decide who can rent their boat and they also set the price and availability of the rental. Renters can search for any type of boat, at any price, anywhere in the United States.
“At BOATERexam.com, we are focused on making boating safety education accessible so that more people can safely enjoy this great family activity,” said BOATERexam.com, Vice President, Kerry Moher. “We’re excited that our partnership with Boatbound will help achieve our goal of increasing the number of educated boaters out on the water.”
