En efecto, pero los veleros sin motor y cualquier barco con motor de menos de 7,5 kW no necesitan esa licencia.
Además, mirad lo que está en rojo, como curiosidad. ¡Igualito que aquí!
Y creo, pero no tengo ganas de buscarlo, que también hay multa por no llevar la PCOC De ahí confusión si es que es confusión.
What types of pleasure craft do I need to license?
A licence or registration is mandatory for all pleasure craft equipped with motors of 10 horsepower (7.5 kilowatts) or more, including personal watercraft, which are principally maintained or operated in Canada.
Owners of pleasure craft of all tonnages and lengths may choose to license them under the
Canada Shipping Act, 2001. Alternatively, pleasure craft owners may choose to register their vessels in the Canadian Register of Vessels.

What is a Pleasure Craft Licence?
A pleasure craft licence is a document with a unique licence number for a pleasure craft. The number allows Search and Rescue personnel to access important information in an emergency.
The law requires all pleasure craft powered by 10 horsepower (7.5 kW) or more engine, to have a pleasure craft licence, unless they have
a vessel registration. There is a $250 fine if you are found operating a vessel without a licence. You must carry a copy of your Pleasure Craft Licence on board at all times and display the pleasure craft licence number on the bow of your boat above the waterline on both sides in block characters that:
- are at least 7.5 centimetres (3 inches) high; and
- in a colour that contrasts with the colour of the bow.
Cost: Pleasure craft licences are free and are valid for 10 years.
