Boat Massachusetts - Your Guide to Boating Laws and Responsibilities is the official boating handbook developed for the Massachusetts Department of Natural Resources. The Handbook introduces you to Massachusetts laws governing boating and provides general information about safe vessel operation.

Boater education prevents accidents and saves lives. Whether or not your state requires it, all boaters have a responsibility to learn about boat operation, communications, navigation, and life- saving techniques before taking to the water.
