MONTGOMERY – Springtime in Alabama is just around the corner, so now is the time to prepare for boating season.
Troopers within the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency’s Marine Patrol Division are set to launch Boating Basics/License Courses beginning March 11, across the southern portion of the state. Although the eight-hour sessions are free and open to the public, individuals interested in attending must contact ALEA’s Marine Patrol to reserve a space.

Prospective boaters who complete the course will have an opportunity to obtain a Boating Basics certificate, which is required for the boater endorsement on Alabama’s driver license.”

Anyone age 12 and older is welcome to sign up for the class as 12-year-olds are eligible to obtain a vessel operator’s license for operating a vessel when accompanied by a licensed adult. At age 14, they are allowed to operate a vessel alone.
Upcoming classes will be held in the southern portion of the state. Prospective boaters are encouraged to email the following Marine Patrol Troopers for the session they would like to attend and to confirm times and dates.
