BOATING COURSES

 

Boating Courses are conducted by trained Instructors from Flotilla 01-04. 
Some of the advantages of taking our Boating Courses:

We teach the most up-to-date version of the "About Boating Safely".  This is the most popular short Course being offered today.  It is approved by The National Association of State Boating Law Administrators (NASBLA) and meets all current Federal and State requirements for powerboat and jet-ski (PWC) operation.

Those successfully completing this Course receive a Certificate of Completion plus a Wallet Card (required to be in the possession of all jet-ski operators regardless of age).  In addition they receive the Course Book plus a CD Disk for future reference.

Our Flotilla teaches over a dozen separate Courses at varying locations from Amityville to Babylon.  Our Adult Courses are completed in ONE eight hour session, usually on Saturdays.
  
We also offer two Courses specifically structured for Youthful Boat Operators between the ages of 10 to 17 for power boat operators, and 14 to 17 for jet-ski operators.  These courses are multi-sessioned over six to eight evenings.

All major insurance companies offer premium discounts for operators who have successfully completed this Course.

Our Instructors are highly qualified, experienced boaters, all of whom hold Coast Guard qualifications and/or Merchant Marine Licenses.

Our Courses cover basic boating skills and essential safety information that will make your boating experiences safer and more satisfying.
