Pleasure Craft Operator Card
April 16, 2019 | 
Author In Canada, anyone who operates a pleasure craft must carry proof of competency on board if the pleasure craft has any type of motor and is used for recreational purposes. This includes the most powerful ski boats and party barges right down to fishing boats boats powered by electric trolling motors.
Proof of competency shows that a person has at least the basic level of boating knowledge that is necessary to operate a pleasure craft safely. The most common proof of competency is a Pleasure Craft Operator Card that a boater receives after passing a Transport Canada–approved boating safety course. The Canada PCOC is accepted as proof of competency in British Columbia and all other provinces.
The good news is you can drink on your boat in British Columbia. However, alcohol may be legally consumed on board a boat in British Columbia so long as the boat is licensed for alcohol consumption, or the boat has a permanent toilet, cooking facilities, sleeping facilities and it is anchored or docked.
