Required Boat Safety Gear:
If you bring your own boat, Ontario water safety regulations require your boat to be equipped with the following items. There is a good chance you will be stopped for a boat safety check:
Anchor and rope
Paddles
Bailing tin
Non-projectile signaling device such as an air-horn or whistle
Coastguard approved lifejackets
Waterproof flashlight with good batteries in the flashlight
A 30-foot rope with a floatation device attached to the end for rescue situations
Pleasure Craft Operator Card:
As of Sept. 15, 2009. all resident powerboat operators must obtain a Pleasure Craft Operator Card. Currently, a Pleasure Craft Operator Card is not required in order to operate a rented watercraft. Instead, it is sufficient for a renter to complete a rental safety checklist.
Non-residents do not need a Boat Operators Card unless they are in Ontario for more than 45 days.
