Are you a casual boater? For those looking for less intense studies, our captains also provide 3-hour on-the-water skill builder courses on your boat or ours. Developed through our partnerships with National Safe Boating Council and BoatUS, these are perfect for those looking to enhance their docking or close water maneuvering skills.

The SaferBoater Difference - Why Choose Us?
Any licensed captain is theoretically capable of teaching you how to drive a boat. So what benefits come with SaferBoater?
To Start, we offer certified training courses that are recognized in all 50 States as well as internationally in over 30 countries. This means that not only are you able to operate & rents boats in each state that requires a boating license, but we can help you meet the requirement (and even save money) with most insurance carriers as well.
SaferBoater students also learn quicker because we teach all lessons first in a classroom, and then on a boat! Our hands-on training approach dominates the boring classroom-only or online style used by other schools.
Each course is hands-on and water based, and taught by Certified Sailing/Powerboat Instructors. We empower students with the skills and confidence they need to get more out of their boating experience, all while allowing them to become safer boat operators.
We are one of only a handful of accredited schools for US Powerboating and US Sailing
Classes are held year-round, with Specialty Programs catering exclusively to women, families, private groups, teens & youth aged 10+, and first-time boat owners.
