Boating License Required?

Not true. Call the DEP yourself and ask if you don't want to believe me.

It's is true. Direct from the boating course.

"Reciprocity

The Connecticut Safe Boating Certificate and the Certificate of
Personal Watercraft Operation are accepted in many states. Connecticut
recognizes certificates from New York, Massachusetts and Rhode
Island for use upon our waters. Adherence to Connecticut state law
remains the responsibility of the boater."

So if you are from New York, Massachuetts and Rhode Island (and I
believe New Jersey and Pennsylvania this year) you are not required to
obtain a certificate even if you operate in CT waters over 60 days.

Also, the courses - direct from my Instructor's Guide:

"Approved Boating Courses

You will notice that there are three types of basic boating courses
that are offered throughout the state:

1. Combined basic boating and personal watercraft class.This 8-hour
class qualifies you for a CPWO or SBC.

2. Basic boating class. This 8-hour class qualifies for SBC only.

3. Personal watercraft course. This 21/2-hour class along with the
basic boating class, qualify you for a CPWO. By itself, the class may
qualify you for a temporary CPWO."
