Boat Safety, Education, and Regulations

Does the thought of launching a boat give you nightmares? Do you shudder at the idea of boating on a crowded lake? Does a windy day keep you at home in front of the TV instead of out on the water? If so, you may be due for some confidence-training!

Check out these online boater education courses. They’re designed for learners at all levels. The courses feature the most up-to-date information about boater safety and regulations. And perhaps most importantly, they will give you the confidence you need to safely enjoy your boating experience. Plus, you may even get a discount on your boat insurance once you’ve completed a course!
