By law, if you operate a motorized pleasure craft less than 4 metres in length, you must carry a Pleasure Craft Operator Card (PCOC).
If you operate any size pleasure craft you must carry a PCOC. The Life Saving Society's B.O.A.T. Program offers boaters an opportunity to learn about many aspects of safe boating, including:

• Navigation regulations and so-called 'rules of the road'
• How to respond to emergencies
• Knowledge about operating pleasure craft (i.e. safety equipment, loading limits, buoys, beacons, weather, fueling procedures)
