The SaferBoater Difference - Why Choose Us?
Any licensed captain can theoretically teach you the basics of how to drive a boat. So why is SaferBoater so Succesful in teaching new boat owners?
Because our On The Water Training Program is the Fastest Way to Learn to Boat. Guaranteed!
To start, we offer standardized, certified training courses that are recognized in all 50 States and internationally in over 30 countries. This means you could visit hundreds of our captains and get the same premier boater training, regardless if you attend a class in Maine, Florida, Texas, or Ohio.
Equally as important, you will have the knowledge, capability and legal eligibility required to buy, rent & operate boats in each state that requires a boating license. As an added benefit, our curriculum will meet the requirements (and even save you money) with most insurance carriers as well.
SaferBoater students also build practical knowledge quicker because we teach our certification lessons first in a classroom and then on a boat! Our hands-on training approach dominates the old, boring classroom-only or online style used by other schools.
Every course we offer is hands-on and water based, with expert instruction provided 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 also hold the distinction of being one of the only accredited schools for US Powerboating and US Sailing in the U.S.
Classes are held year-round, with Specialty Programs catering exclusively to women, families, private groups, teens & youth aged 10+, and first-time boat owners.
So while there may be many boat captains, we have the only standardized system available to turn you from a novice to a confident captain in just a few short days.
