Boat Ed
The Handbook of Michigan Boating Laws and Responsibilities defines the basics of boating, laws and regulations, navigation rules, weather emergencies, encountering other vessels and much more. Safe navigation on Michigan waterways is the responsibility of everyone.

This handbook is published by Boat Ed, the official provider of Michigan's boating safety course. Although this handbook is a convenient reference tool, students wanting to receive official Michigan boating safety certification would benefit from studying Boat Ed's comprehensive boat safety course, with chapter-by-chapter review questions and a free Practice Test.
