Safe Boating Classes
The Coast Guard Auxiliary classroom conducted public education programs provide training superior to that available on-line.
Why?
The human factor! Our instructors are seasoned sailors and yachtsmen with hundreds of hour on the water. Volunteers all, these men and women are dedicated to your Boating Safety. On-line programs cannot answer your questions at the time you need them answered. Our instructors are there to answer your question when you ask it.
