The following are NC State Boating Laws:

a. Each child not wearing such a PFD is below decks or in an enclosed cabin.
b. The vessel is not underway. (Vessels that are anchored or tied to shore are not underway.)
2. No person under the age of 14 may operate a personal watercraft (PWC). A person at least 14 years of age but less than 16 years of age may operate a PWC if:
a. The person is accompanied by a person at least 18 years of age who occupies the PWC; or
b. The person possesses ID proof of age and a boating safety certificate or card indicating satisfactory completion of a National Association of Boating Law Administrators (NASBLA) approved boating safety course.
c. ID and boating safety certification must be produced upon request of an officer.
This age requirement became effective on November 1, 2005. The age requirement of 14 years does not apply to persons who were 12 or older on November 1, 2005.
Gasoline Tax Refund available from the State of North Carolina!
Recreational boaters can apply for a refund of the state sales tax on gasoline and diesel fuel that is purchased at a highway pump for use in their boats. This includes the fuel pumps located in the marina. The claims for this refund are filed annually. For information, go to www.dor.state.nc.us/forms/
Once there, click on Motor Fuels and then scroll down to Gas-1201. The form for each year is posted when it becomes available.

My friend Bill Miller, PE used Charter Lakes Marine
Insurance to insure his new boat. Here is what Bill says about his experience. "I found Adam at Charter Lakes Marine Insurance to be knowledgable about the marine insurance industry. Adam is a lawyer so he was able to explain the contractual language in the insurance policy and help me to make informed decisions.
Adam hooked me up with Markel American, which is the lowest cost marine insurance company I can find. I have checked all of the competition and I always come back to Markel American for price and service to insure my boat.
I highly recommend Adam and Charter Lakes Marine Insurance. You get the marine insurance you need at a price you can afford."

My friend Bill Miller, PE used David Robathom Marine Surveyors &
Consultants to survey his boat. Here is what Bill says about his experience. "I found David to be knowledgable, thorough and easy to work with. David operated every appliance and accessory and inspected every area of the boat I was looking to purchase.
David took photographs, and prepared a bound written report that documented his findings. I reviewed David's report with a critical eye, since I am a mechanical engineer and a licensed Professional Engineer. I found David's report to be accurate, complete and valuable in negotiating a better deal in purchasing the boat. David's report was accepted by the finance company and the insurance company.
I highly recommend David Robathom Marine Surveyors. You get value and peace of mind for the competitive fee you pay...money well spent."
