DOVER, Del., June 10 /PRNewswire/ -- Delaware is the latest state to launch

narrative fashion with more than 300 original illustrations and 150 animated
video clips. Each of the course's seven chapters is followed by chapter

All persons born after January 1, 1978 who operate a motorized vessel on
Delaware waters are required to have their Delaware boater education card
(also mistakenly referred to as the 'Delaware Boating License') in possession
at the time of operation.

"Online education programs such BoaterExam.com provide an opportunity for
people to be trained and educated in boating safety techniques through an
online study guide that is animated and narrated," said Gail Kulp, Education

of $29.95 only when they pass the final exam to obtain their official results.
A temporary card can be printed immediately and the permanent boater education
card is issued by the Delaware Division of Fish & Wildlife and will arrive in
2-3 weeks. Passing a boater education course may also result in a discount for
boat or personal watercraft insurance. For complete Delaware boating
