Hi "neighbor" we live in the Corning area and keep our boat on Seneca Lk
I'm not sure about Canada but first guess doubt it.
NY is sticky about NASBLA certified courses and I see it also requires any card be state issued to be reciprocal.
I looked up info to confirm my understanding that USCG & USPS courses satisfied the NY reqm'ts and was surprised to find this in their FAQs...
I have a US Coast Guard Auxiliary boating safety certificate. Can I exchange it for a New York boating safety certificate?
No. The same is true for US Power Squadron boating safety certificate. New York State can only issue a boating safety certificate to persons that have successfully completed a NYS classroom course.
Applicable sites / docs I found
Boating Education Reciprocity
NY Boater Education FAQ
I have successfully used my USPS Certified Instructor Card in other states that require boater cards but it looks like that wouldn't hold in NY. I was under the impression that USPS & USCG courses were acceptable in NY but the info states otherwise...I need to do more checking w/ our Squadron Education officer.
