The America's Public Boating Course is for all boaters including skippers of a family cruiser, sailing enthusiasts, personal watercraft (PWC) operators, hunters or fishermen operating an outboard utility boat, and canoe and kayak paddlers. It covers the basics you need to know to safely and legally operate your boat, such as basic boating terminology, boat handling, water sports safety, legally required equipment, other boating laws and regulations, right-of-way rules between boats, and marine radio operation. The course is meant to be of interest to the whole family, and we encourage your family to attend as a group.
A safety certificate is issued following successful completion of the classes and allows participants to operate a power driven vessel. This may be required by age or state law. Qualified, enthusiastic, and experienced USPS (United States Power Squadron) instructors provide instruction as a civic service.
