Fastest & Easiest Way to Get Certified:

Click the link on this page to take the Minnesota Boating Rental License test (aka MN Watercraft Rental Course) on BOATERexam.com. This $9.99 online test takes about 30 to 45 minutes to complete (The site say 3-4 hours, but that is incorrect) and allows you to operate rental boats in Minnesota for 180 days.


**Tip - This permit expires after 180 days. If you have time, consider completing the full Watercraft Operator Permit instead, so you won't need to renew.
