All boats must be licensed by the BLHA.
All persons operating boats on Berkeley Lake MUST first obtain a BLHA license decal and registration numbers contact the BLHA member in charge of boat registration.
Boats licenses will ONLY be issued for boats which are owned by current members of the BLHA or deed covenant property owners. The license fee is $25.00 and the license is NOT transferable. If a boat is obtained which already has a license, the BLHA member in charge of boat registration must be informed and an additional $25.00 fee will be collected. Canoes are boats and must also be licensed.
Pontoon boat dimensions may not exceed 28' x 10'. All other motorized boats may not exceed 18 feet in length.
NO WAKE at any time. The maximum permitted speed is 5 MPH.
The BLHA complies with the Coast Guard requirements of at least one Coast Guard approved life preserver for each occupant of the boat at all times when operating on the lake.
Towing persons or objects behind a boat on the lake constitutes reckless operation of a craft and may be punishable by revoking the license to operate a boat on Lake Berkeley. An exception to this rule is another boat in distress and requiring assistance.
When a boat is bought or sold, please inform the BLHA member in charge of boat registration for the purpose of updating records.
