Don't worry, if you were not born before January 1, 1982 or have your boater's license, you can still rent from me.
If you don't meet the requirements listed above, you will have take an abbreviated boating exam that is 10 multiple choice questions and pass with a 90% or higher. You will have to take this exam onsite with me and have 2 chances to pass, otherwise I am NOT allowed to rent to you. The exam will only allow you to ride for your time of the rental that day and you will have to take this exam every time you rent from me unless you get your boater's license.
I am an official Watercraft Rental Agency in the state of Ohio, and these are rules that I have to follow from the Ohio Division of Natural Resources. I can be fined and/or shut down if I do not follow these rules.
If you would like to get your boater's license, I recommend going through aceboater.com
