Navigating the waters in Pennsylvania requires more than just a vessel; it necessitates compliance with specific regulations set forth by the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission (PFBC). Among these is the submission of the PFBC-769 form, an Application for PFBC Unpowered Boat Use (Launch) Permit. This critical piece of documentation, updated as of May 2013, provides unpowered boat owners the legal authorization to launch their vessels in the state's waterways. Aimed at canoes, kayaks, rowboats, sailboats, and other unpowered craft, the form prompts applicants to choose between a one-year permit at $10 and a two-year permit at $18, making water adventures both feasible and regulated. Additionally, it collects essential information, including applicant details and specific boat information, crucial for maintaining up-to-date records. Furthermore, it outlines the process for payment and submission to the PFBC’s Division of Licensing & Registration, ensuring a straightforward path for enthusiasts to follow. Critical to note is the stipulation that a Use Permit, tied uniquely to one vessel, cannot legally be transferred to another, preserving the integrity of the registration process. With an expiry on December 31 of the year(s) it's issued for, this document underscores the importance of timely compliance for boating aficionados in Pennsylvania.
