NJ requires you have a NASBLA issued Boater Safety Certificate (BSC) for anywhere.
The NYS BSC is available TOTALLY ONLINE ( unlike NJ that requires face to face final exam). Take either BoaterExam.com or Boat-Ed.com for NYS and you're done for the rest of your life.
When done with the NYS course- passing grade only 76% ( not NJ 80%). They issue a 60 day temp and a chit. The Chit you send to Parks Dept in Albany with $10 check. Then send you the permanent plastic BSC Card.
That's the easiest way to comply. Also with waterways that are not 6 or more miles wide you have concurrent jurisdictions with NJ and NY since state territorials water extend 3 miles each.
Hope that helps?
I teach NJ and NY courses. SO PM me if you have any specific Q's? OK?
