BASS Team Tournament requirement. NEW for 2025.

Q. Who is required to have proof of completion of a National Association of State Boating Law Administrators (NASBLA) boater safety course?

A. All competitors that operate or could operate a combustible engine powered vessel in B.A.S.S. events.

Q. Can a United States Coast Guard Captain’s license be substituted for a NASBLA endorsed boater safety certificate?

A. Yes, a USGG Captain’s license will satisfy B.A.S.S.’s boater safety certificate requirements.

Q. My state has grandfathered anglers over a certain age from boater safety certificate completion. If I’m over that age, does it mean I’m exempt from having to provide proof of completion of a boater safety course to B.A.S.S.?

A. No, proof of completion of a boater safety course will be required of all boaters and team competitors beginning January 1, 2025.

Q. How often do I need to renew and resubmit proof of a boater safety course completion to B.A.S.S.

A. Good news, after your initial submission, the document will be recorded in your profile and you will be eligible to compete in B.AS.S. events. Since there is no expiration date, you will never need to resubmit.
