The Connecticut Safe Boating Certificate and the Certificate of
Personal Watercraft Operation are accepted in many states. Connecticut
recognizes certificates from New York, Massachusetts and Rhode
Island for use upon our waters. Adherence to Connecticut state law
remains the responsibility of the boater.
In addition, any person who possesses a Safe Boating Certificate or
a Certificate of Personal Watercraft Operation issued by a state having
an agreement of reciprocity with the Commissioner of Environmental
Protection may present evidence of the certificate to satisfy the
educational requirements for the issuance of a Connecticut Safe Boating



Looks like we need a ruling from the DEP regarding PA or any other state not listed in the Boaters Guide above.
