Trained instructors from the US Coast Guard Auxiliary will teach you about your vessel, including starting the engine and operating the radio. Also included are descriptions of basic boat handling, what equipment should be on board, and what causes boating mishaps and how to minimize them. All materials are provided by the instructor.
