    Boating 101

 

What We Offer

We offer private instruction for new boaters and to those of you who have upgraded from a PWC to a bowrider or from a bowrider to a cabin cruiser.

 

A USCG licensed Captain will show you the basics of operating your boat, safety, rules of the road and knots.

 

Instruction can be customized to meet your needs. Please contact us for specific requests.

 

All training is conducted on your boat.

Type of Training

Instruction is available for boats 17’ to 27’ in length with one engine.

Basic training classes include:

·  Boat safety

·  Rules of the Road

·  Boat handling skills such as handling lines, docking & anchoring

·  VHF use

·  Knots – five that every boater should know

 

In addition to the classes above, trailerable boats will learn the following:

· Ramp etiquette

· Launching & retrieving

 

Women Only

Come train with a woman Captain in a relaxed atmosphere where you’ll gain the confidence to handle the boat if the need arises.

 

Wouldn’t it be fun to take your girlfriends out for a ladies day on the water?! They will be quite impressed at the skills that you’ve learned.

 

If you boat with your significant other often, you should know how to handle the boat in case of an emergency. It could mean life or death.
