Pleasure Craft Operators Card
As of September 15, 2009 operators of any motorized pleasure craft are required by Federal Legislation to have a Pleasure Craft Operator's Card ( PCOC ) and carry it with them while operating the craft.
- A fine of $250 can be charged against both the owner and the operator of a vessel for the first offence.
- Renters of powered vessels are required to complete a dockside checklist as proof of competency.
