Southlake, TX – Recademics.com, a leading provider of online recreational safety education, is proud to announce the launch of its Kentucky Boater Safety Course. Approved by the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources (KDFWR) and recognized by the National Association of State Boating Law Administrators (NASBLA), the course provides a flexible, interactive option for meeting the Commonwealth’s boater education requirements.
In Kentucky, youth between the ages of 12 and 17 are required to complete a state-approved boater safety course and earn a Boater Education Certificate before operating any motorized vessel or personal watercraft with an engine of 10 horsepower or greater.
“Kentucky is home to over 50 major lakes and more than 90,000 miles of rivers and streams,” said Mitch Strobl, Co-Founder of Recademics.com. “Whether you’re cruising Lake Cumberland or exploring the backwaters of the Ohio River, having proper training can make the difference between a great day on the water and a dangerous one.”
The Kentucky Boater Safety Course at Recademics.com features multimedia lessons, chapter quizzes, and interactive content that walk students through safe vessel operation, emergency procedures, boating laws, and ecological responsibility. Designed for first-time boaters and experienced operators, the course is available 24/7 on desktop or mobile.
The course also highlights Kentucky-specific topics, such as local invasive species concerns, wildlife protections, and common boating issues on lakes and reservoirs throughout the state.
“We’re committed to making boater education not just accessible, but effective and memorable,” Strobl added. “Our students walk away confident, informed, and ready to be leaders in safety and stewardship on Kentucky waters.”
After successfully completing the course, students will receive a NASBLA-approved Boater Education Certificate that satisfies Kentucky law and is accepted in other participating states.
