In California operators of motorized vessels need a California boater card, if they are 35 years of age or younger.
A boater card/license, requirements are being phased in over a period of eight years. By January 1st, 2025, all boat operators in California will be required to get certified, no matter their age. A boater card is required to legally operate any motorized boat, which does include personal watercraft such as a jet-ski or sea-doo. However once it is obtained, the card is good for life, and does not need to be renewed.
