Boating Safety Class

Our Boating Safety Class exceeds New York State certification requirements.
Taking a boating class reduces your risk of accidents and injuries and may save you money on boat insurance.
The navigation portion of this class gives you virtual "hands-on" training in the art of piloting your boat from one place to another safely and confidently. Learn how to accurately read a chart, compass, and GPS while reaching your destination safely.
