has been approved by the National Association of State Boating Law Administrators (NASBLA) and recognized by the U.S. Coast Guard National Recreational Boating Safety Program.

It has been designed by marine educators to provide information to people who might not otherwise have the opportunity to receive it. You can progress at your own pace and on your own time schedule. Any questions you have will be promptly answered by email. Your progress through the review quizzes is monitored by a boating instructor who personally grades your review exams and offers comments and clarification when necessary. Please feel free to ask questions and make suggestions throughout the course.

This course is also available for presentation to groups and organizations such as schools, marinas, brokers and yacht clubs.
