Chartering in Canada

[scarlet]

I am a U.S. citizen, and will be chartering a boat in Canada in August. I read on line where boat owners have to have a Canadian Boater Safety Certificate. Since I am chartering, do I need one? Or, will my U.S. boater Safety Certificate suffice? I've contacted my charter company, but they aren't great about getting back to me... and I want to be prepared.

You'll be good to go.

An operator card or equivalent that meets the requirements of their state or country.
