This US Powerboating Certified Women-Only course is taught by two female captains and is designed to empower women by familiarizing them with concepts and techniques relating to on-water boat handling skills.
You will earn your NASBLA, DNR & US Powerboating Certificates, which gives you the equivalent of a Boating License, making you eligible to rent & operate boats in all 50 States.
Our 2 day, 16-hour curriculum is taught first in a classroom, and then On a Boat, so you can confidently take your boat out by yourself, or with your family and friends.
