Reciprocity
For visiting boaters, all states, territories, and provinces will recognize boating education cards that meet NASBLA requirements and Canadian Pleasure Craft Operator Cards that meet Transport Canada’s requirements. This is known as “reciprocity.” Some states may have additional requirements. Check with the managing agencies in other states to verify the Hawaii Thrill Craft Operator Certificate satisfies all requirements of those states before launching.
