A Paddle UK waterways license allows access to 5,000 miles of inland waterways, including the Paris 2024 Olympics. Obtaining a canoe license is crucial for legally and safely operating a canoe on public waterways. To do so, you must understand the process, necessary steps, and laws.
Paddle UK membership covers all types of paddling craft, from inflatables to specialist boats, including kayaks, canoes, and stand-up paddleboards. Most states require a manufacturers statement of origin (MSO) and an invoice or license for new watercraft registrations. Some rivers require special permits, such as the Colorado River in the Grand Canyon.
If your canoe or kayak is powered by a trolling motor, the boat needs to be registered and titled (unless solely operated on a boat). Proof of your licence is required when paddling on inland waterways that need a license.
To paddle on virtually all inland waterways in England, you will need a license, which includes proof of ownership, detailed information on the boat, you (the owner), a drivers license or ID, and the waterways license. This license is also known as a river license or navigation license, and you must carry proof of your license with you when paddling to avoid a fine.
