Note:
On 9 August 2019 Governor Cuomo signed legislation S.5685/A.4853.A - Brianna's Law, to phase in requirements that by 2025, all operators of motorized watercraft must complete a state-approved boating safety course. The law is named after 11-year-old Brianna Lieneck, a Long Island girl who was killed in a 2005 boating accident. Failure to comply could result in a fine of between $100 and $250. The law does not apply to operators of sailboats under sail, kayaks, standup paddleboards, rowboats or canoes.
America's Boating Course (ABC) is the
finest course available that meets this requirement.
* Most course fees are discounted for United States Power Squadron members and there is a small fee for students who have completed a course or seminar in the past and want to audit the current class as a refresher.
