Excellent class. I recommend that anyone who wants to get their NYS boating certification take this course. I feel that I walked away with usable boating and safety information.

Boating Safety course
Instructor was just GREAT! Kept us focused, attentive and interactive with instructor, He constantly asked us questions, made sure we knew the material and every once in a while entertained us with jokes. This is the second course I took - the first around 1975 which my dad's friends were part of - and being the only sailor, I helped with the sailboat portion. Know that I have my own sailboat I had to go thru the course having lost my certificate years ago. I also inquired about advanced navigation courses which he mentioned were available.
