12-year-olds in Iowa can operate boats with over 10 horsepower if they have an Iowa Watercraft Safety Certificate. Minors between 12-17 must have the certificate, but there's no minimum age for operating non-powered boats like kayaks, canoes, or sailboats. Intoxicated individuals should not be allowed to drive the boat.
