Heads up: If you born after January 1st, 1984, it is required that all operators have a Missouri Boating Safety Certificate, or a NASBLA approved boaters license from another state (see below.)  

Don’t have one? We’ve got you covered -  guests can order and pay for their temporary boating safety identification card online for a 7-day temporary license.
