depend on size of boat if under 20 feet I would guess 16. and if boat only has electric motor or no motor than no age requirement

Wow! I had no idea it was so young.

Minimum Age Restrictions. No person under 12 years of age may operate a motorboat, unless accompanied on-board and directly supervised by a competent person 18 years of age or older. Personal watercraft (PWC) users must still be at least 16 years of age in order to operate, with no exceptions.

In most states, a boating safety certificate is required if you were born after 1976.
