Neptune Boating Club
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.
You’ll learn about boating laws and regulations as well as boat registration and licensing. You will get in-depth knowledge of boating safety equipment, and gain practical knowledge of navigation, rules of the road, handling emergencies and mechanical problems on the water, the basics of towing and trailering, boat types, boat engines, and boat selection.
Our 16-hour boating class includes a comprehensive introduction to boating, covering important information for boaters, hunters, anglers, water sports enthusiasts, and personal watercraft operators.
The Introduction to Navigation 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 read a chart, a compass and your GPS while working to get to your destination accurately. This class will leave you with a fuller understanding of our address on the planet Earth.
