What are required documents for operating a boat?

  1. License or Proof of competency and a fishing license

  2. Pleasure craft license and a driving license

  3. License or Proof of competency and pleasure craft license

  4. Pleasure craft license and a passport

The correct answer is: License or Proof of competency and pleasure craft license

Boating laws and regulations require boaters to have a Pleasure Craft Operator Card (PCOC) or another form of proof of competency, such as a boating license. A fishing license is not required for operating a boat. A driving license is also not sufficient as a boating license. A passport does not pertain to operating a boat and is not a valid document for this purpose. Therefore, the correct documents for operating a boat are a license or proof of competency and a pleasure craft license.
