Vessel registrationVessels that must be registeredIf your vessel has a motor, or is fitted for one, it must be registered with the DoT and will be subject to an annual registration fee. If your vessel is currently registered in another state, you have three months after bringing it into WA to have it transferred.
Exemptions from registrationRecreational vessels that do not have to be registered:
• yachts (unpowered and not fitted with an engine mount);
• canoes; and • surf skis and other craft without motors and not
fitted for one.
Maintain a lookout and a safe speedPlease maintain a good lookout for swimmers, canoes, paddle boats and other vessels. Exercise caution and operate at a safe speed when navigating in this area of the Canning River.
Recreational Skipper’s TicketThe person in charge of a recreational vessel with a motor of 6hp (4.5 kilowatts) or less is not required to hold a Recreational Skippers Ticket (RST).
A person in charge of a recreational vessel with a motor greater than 6hp (4.5 kilowatts) is required to hold a RST.
You are required to carry your RST card when boating.
Age restrictionsA person under 10 years may not drive a motor boat.
RST holders over 14 but under 16 years of age are restricted to operating during daylight hours at a speed less than 8 knots.
