The high costs of training with a professional instructor aboard a charter vessel can preclude many from an on-water learning experience. The BoatUS Foundation and Freedom Boat Club course aims to make it more affordable, offering more Floridians the chance to try out recreational boating or to simply brush up on their skills prior to the peak summer boating season.
“Our classroom is a 21-foot powerboat,” said BoatUS Foundation Director of Education Amanda Suttles Pérez. Each student will get hands-on experience on steering, docking, close-quarters maneuvering, anchoring, approaching fuel docks, understanding the rules of the road and more.”
BoatUS is the nation’s largest advocacy, services and safety organization with more than 100,000members in the Sunshine State. It’s affiliated non-profit BoatUS Foundation for Boating Safety and Clean Water is a national leader promoting safe, clean and responsible boating.
