DNR Boater Safety Certification, presented by Polk County Sheriff’s Department
This classroom training teaches the safe handling and operation of boats and watercraft (e.g. jet ski) and will cover the topics of water & boating safety equipment, rules and ethics of the water, and navigation.

LOCATION: Osceola Intermediate School - Media Room (145)

- If you were born after 1989, you are required to complete a boating safety course to legally operate a motorized boat or personal watercraft (PWC). Anyone is eligible to take a boating safety class and receive a safety education completion certificate, although the certificate is not valid for a child until he or she is 12 years old.
- Children ages 10 and 11 may operate a motorized boat or watercraft only under the close supervision of an on-board and sober parent, guardian, or a person at least 18 years old who is designated by the parent or guardian and the parent, guardian, or designated adult holds a valid boating safety certificate or was born before January 1, 1989.
- Children aged 12 years and older that have completed the Boater Safety course can operate a motorized boat or watercraft solo.
