Why Should I Take Boating Lessons ?

Build your confidence operating a boat.

Overwhelmed by the thought of pulling up to dock of a restaurant, or the sandbar full of boats and having to maneuver between boats? A captain can teach you the skills to master docking, anchoring and maneuvering around other boats.

Try boating before investing in a new purchase.

Not sure if boating right for you? Some of our captains will give you training on their boat to see if boating is right for you before investing in a new vessel. You can also rent a boat for the day.

Captain Al Noble did a fantastic job with us on Friday. He was thorough, knowledgeable, and patient as we learned to handle a boat. The instruction was well worth the investment. Would certainly use Captain Al again and highly recommend his instruction to others.
