Welcome to "The Handbook of Georgia Boating Laws and Responsibilities." This essential guide ensures safer and more enjoyable experiences on Georgia's waters. It's designed to help you understand the state's boating laws and safety regulations. Boating safety certification is required by law for many Georgia boaters, and becoming certified might even save you money on boat insurance. You have two convenient ways to get certified through the Boat Georgia Safe Boating Program. You can complete the course online via boat-ed.com/georgia or gadnrle.org/boating-education. This includes interactive graphics to help you learn and retain important information, with a certificate mailed to you upon successful completion. Alternatively, you can take an in-classroom course. Share the learning experience with other boaters and a qualified instructor. To find a classroom course in your area, please call the Georgia Department of Natural Resources at 770-918-6408. Remember, safety on the water is everyone's responsibility. Stay informed and boat safely!
