New York Safe Boating
I wanted to take a moment to share some positive feedback regarding our instructor. He was truly outstanding—always polite, engaging, and responsive. He answered every question from the class with clarity and patience, and consistently encouraged participation by prompting students to think and respond. His sense of humor and interactive teaching style made the class both enjoyable and intellectually stimulating. It's clear that he genuinely cares about student learning, and it showed in every session. He is the kind of teacher every student hopes to have.

NY Safe Boating course at Strong's Mattituck
Captain Rich's instruction was filled with relevant anecdotes from his personal experience as a boat operator and course instructor. This helped make the contents of the 8 hour class digestible and entertaining. (Although his "Dad" jokes could use some work.) He made attendees of all ages feel comfortable participating with their own questions and responding to his. Captain Rich's involvement in implementing Brianna's law was evident in the seriousness to which he presented the material. The showroom facility at Strong's Marine in Mattituck was very comfortable. It was a very good experience and I'm happy to now have completed my safety certification after a lifetime of boating. Thank you.
