to get your New Jersey Boating Safety Certificate,
which allows you to legally operate a power vessel
(motor boat or Jet Ski/PWC) on New Jersey waters.
Boaters who intend to operate their vessels on

a boating endorsement on their NJ Driver’s
License (commonly referred to as a New Jersey
Boating License).
Class fee is $75.00 if pre-paid online, $85.00 for walk-ins (cash or check only at the door)
