Maryland law states that anyone born on or after July 1, 1972 must possess a certificate of boating safety education in order to operate any motorized vessel. This certificate is non-renewable and must be carried by the operator at all times while operating a vessel. Officers may or may not ask to see the certificate during a vessel check and, if not provided, you can be charged with a minimum of $25.00 for the first offense and up to $500.00 for each offense thereafter.
