The initial step towards keeping your boat legal in Canadian
waters would be pleasure
craft renewal in time. Many boat owners do not take into account
renewal dates, and thus they can receive a fine or inspection postponement.
This manual does it all in simple language to ensure you go about your boat
license renewal with ease.
Understanding Pleasure Craft Renewal Requirements
Most recreational motor-based boats in Canada require
pleasure craft renewal. The licence will last 10 years and has to be renewed
before expiry so as to be in compliance.
Distinctions Between Pleasure Craft Renewal and Boat License
Renewal
People use both phrases interchangeably; however, when
talking about renewing their pleasure craft, they say “pleasure craft renewal.”
Boat owners may say “boat license renewal.”
