Squadron Boating Classes Available to the Public

There are now two classes, The Squadron Boating Class and America's Boating Course, both designed to be useful to all boaters, from the fisherman in an outboard to the skipper of a large cruiser or sailboat. All boaters are subject to nautical rules and regulations. Skippers should learn and respect traditional boating courtesies. The courses are meant to be of interest to the entire family; older children are welcome. We encourage your family to attend as a group.

The course will teach basic seamanship, an understanding of navigational aids, items required to be on your boat, trailer and boat handling, the art of tying knots and much more. Professionally trained instructors utilizing the latest in enhanced, visual aids technology will make attendance a truly enjoyable learning experience. Those students who are 21 years old or younger and who successfully complete the course, will have met Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission requirements entitling them to receive a Florida State Boaters License.

At the conclusion of the class an examination is held and those who successfully complete course will be given a certificate which is recognized by United States Power Squadrons® the Marine Police and many Insurance Companies.

The course is open to all members of the public, from teenagers upwards. For those under 21, successful completion of this course will enable that person to obtain a Florida Operators License.

You do not have to own a boat to take this course, you may have to handle someone else's boat in an emergency. Would you know how to cope? Take the class, learn from the experts.
