The Boater Education Card

The Boater Education Card (often referred to as "Virgin Islands boating License" or "Virgin Islands Boater Education Card") is proof that you have successfully completed all territory-mandated boater education requirements.

Vessel operators who are required to have a Boater Education Card must carry their card on board the vessel and have it available for inspection by enforcement officers.
