Frequently Asked Questions

I am a new boater. Do you offer courses for the newbie?

We offer several courses for new boaters. Our Americas Boating Course fulfills the state requirement for boating certification required of all those born after Jan 1, 1988. The second course that we recommend for new boaters is our Boat Handling course. Then we have one on-the-water program, Cast Off which is a two-hour, one-on-one boating experience using either your own boat, or one of our boat club rentals with an experienced instructor. This program is great for new boaters or those new to the area. It’s free (except for the cost of gas) to our members who have completed the Americas Boating Course.

What is your schedule for classes and seminars?

You can find the complete schedule of our classes on our calendar and then you can register and pay for the courses right on this website under the Education tab. On the Education page you will also find a complete description of each offered course.

Do I have to be a member to take any courses?

All courses (except Cast Off) are offered to our members and to the general public. Our members do receive a substantial savings on the cost of all but the ABC course. Cast Off is a members only course.

What is the cost of membership?

Our annual membership dues are $132 for a single and $198 for a family. There is also a one-time $20 administrative charge, and $16 if you’d like a nametag.
