phatbassturd Posted May 31, 2021 Report Share Posted May 31, 2021 Hey all... first post sorta, forgot my old username from the early 2000's, so hello everyone!! Looking for a place to take the boater exam, heading to the french river this year (french river lodge) and i guess i gotta get it as i'll be renting a boat.... so, how/where do i get this thing done? I've seen links online for it, i remember way back in the beginning there were scam sites... so looking for a legit online exam! And if anyone has ANY tips, info, whatever for the french river in that area, please let me know it's been several years (20 or so) since i've been out for a good fish :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lew Posted June 1, 2021 Report Share Posted June 1, 2021 Pretty sure the fella that owns the camp can give you a mini test so your legally licensed to operate his boats while your there....but I may be wrong. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanD Posted June 1, 2021 Report Share Posted June 1, 2021 Although it is strongly recommended, you do not need a pleasure craft operator card to rent a boat in Ontario. There are specific responsibilities of a person without proof of competency renting a pleasure craft fitted with a motor that include: the completion of the Rental Boat Safety Checklist with the rental boat/outfitter representative; understand the knowledge and skills given by the rental boat/outfitter representative; sign the Rental Boat Safety Checklist; and carry onboard the co-signed section of the Rental Boat Safety Checklist as proof of competency for the duration of the rental. It is also recommended that you be aware of the rental operator’s responsibilities. The above comes from this web site. Renting a boat. Like Lew. Just trying to help; don't think the site is outdated? Dan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huzzsaba Posted June 1, 2021 Report Share Posted June 1, 2021 Just recently got my boating license from boaterexam, and although the exam part was not that bad, but the studying part is time consuming 😩. Just relieved I passed the first try with over 90% 😌 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishfield Posted June 1, 2021 Report Share Posted June 1, 2021 Check with the renter and see if they will still do the renters check list to make you legal vs the need for a boaters card. Many will not anymore, including my Sister in law at Manitoulin Resort. Boaters card or no rental, thanks to insurance liability from their provider. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
