From Our Students

I ordered your course a couple of weeks ago. It has given me the confidence to take my kids out on the water by myself. My husband has a very rigorous work schedule and too many beautiful boating days were being missed. Even though I knew things here and there about boating, I never felt confident to get out there alone. After taking the course, I couldn’t wait to just start practicing. I started with short trips in good weather, to last week taking my girls to the sandbar, and even gassed up on the water on the way! I have made a couple minor mistakes, but continue to learn.

Looking forward to your next course! Just wanted to give you some positive feedback. I also have shared your course with a few friends and told them how it helped me."

Just completed the course! Appreciate all the info and detail in all the videos. Nice to have a one stop shop for reference on specifics. Very helpful! I found you from “The Qualified Captain” so I knew it was well worth it. But, overall the course was perfect. It confirmed a lot that I had already learned from growing up boating as a Floridian, as well as give me better insight to navigation and what not to do. This course is perfect for beginners and regular boaters alike.”

Charles

I finished the course finally and I really enjoyed it. I will recommend it to others and make my son, who is 14 and wants to get his boating certificate here in New York, watch it as well. It is very practical.
