  1. UK no but I would recommend insurance.


  2. A LOT OF PLACES ASK FOR YOUR INSURANCE TO LAUNCH YOU BUT IF YOU CAN GET DOWN TO THE SHORELINE YOURSELF YOU WILL BE OK. YOU DONT REQUIRE A LICENCE

    take no notice of answer below mine thats usa not UK

  3. No licence in UK, but most other EU countries do require one for watercraft. May be local regulations in place regarding launch area, swimmers areas &c. Insurance not required for public areas, but may be needed if in marina. However 3rd party insurance cover is a must to protect you. Marine claims are expensive

  4. You do not need a licence, but you need to abide by local byelaws and slipway rules. keep your speed down when close to the sure. I got done years ago, an i was'nt goimg that fast..Have fun stay safe

  5. you need a lisence.  You can obtain one online it is called the boaters saftey course.  All you have to do is take a test and you pass.  check out www.boatcourse.com and see if they offer a course for your state. (good website, i got my certification from them).  If your state is not listed contact to local coast guard auxillary who offer classroom courses.
