Departing and returning to a dock or boat slip are two of the most crucial skills you must develop early on if you wish to enjoy boating. You will learn both simple and advanced docking, departure and close quarter maneuvering techniques that will keep your family safe and your boat undamaged.

  • Departing from dock
  • 180-Degree Turnarounds
  • Docking on Port & Starboard
  • Using S.C.A.N. procedures
  • Tides and Approach
  • and more...

This entire course is taught on the water and will teach you the basic parts of the boat, rules of the water, operating instructions, handling waves & wind, and safety checklists.
As a wise old captain once quipped, "Its cheaper to learn how to do it right the first time, instead of paying to repair the damage to someone else's boat"
