Darien Sail & Power Squadron will present its Safe Boating Course at St. Luke’s Parish Hall, 1864 Post Road, Darien, CT beginning at 7:00p.m. on Tuesday, January 20, 2026, continuing on consecutive Tuesday evenings for six classes plus an exam. Graduates qualify for the CT Safe Boating Certificate (“boating license”) including waterskiing, personal watercraft, and Coastal Boating endorsements.
The $100 cost of the class includes textbook, chart, and plotting equipment. There is a discount for multiple members of the same household taking the course at the same time. Gift Certificates available.
Designed for boaters in this part of Long Island Sound, the course focuses on basic coastal boating skills. It covers significantly more than the State's minimum requirements, including “Radio, Ropes, and Charts,” which are topics of general, practical issues for all boaters, whether power or sail.
Shortly after boats go into the water in the Spring, graduates of the Boating Course are invited to “practice what we teach” at an on-the-water "Spring Refresher." Details of these events and more will be posted at DSPSCT.ORG
