Welcome to the Utah Boating Program

Since 1959 the State Boating Program has served to preserve and maintain quality for the best possible boating experiences on Utah’s waterways. The program embraces passionate boating enthusiasts as team members to coordinate and enhance safety, education, and facilities to protect waters for your future boating generations. Our efforts are funded through boat registration fees, state taxes on gasoline used in motorboats, and federal recreational boating safety funds.
