Free pilot · 3 questions
This free 3-question Michigan pilot teaches a few safety concepts and shows explanations after each attempt. It is independent practice, not the official state exam, an approved course, or a route to a boater card. Check the state agency for the current rules and accepted providers before operating a boat.
For an official certificate, see the Michigan Department of Natural Resources.
Michigan DNR says people born on or after July 1, 1996 who operate a vessel need a boating safety certificate. Its separate age and personal-watercraft restrictions also matter; use the DNR's current operator guidance for the specific situation.
A screenshot or score from a free practice test is not a certificate. Confirm any age, supervision and vessel-specific rules through Michigan DNR rather than extrapolating from one sample question.
