U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary, Flotilla 81, is offering its Boat America boating safety class on Saturday, May 2, 2026. The class will be held at Waterfront Marine, located at 1 Goll Avenue in Somers Point. The course begins at 8:30 AM and runs to 5:00 PM. The cost of the course is $65.00, which includes all training materials. Lunch will not be provided but you can bring your own (we will take a short 30-minute break for lunch). There is one additional class scheduled for June 6, 2026 at St. Peter's United Methodist Church in Ocean City. Class size is limited, so please register as soon as possible.
Boat America is the Auxiliary's basic safe boating class. New Jersey law requires all operators of power boats complete an approved boating safety class as a requirement for obtaining a NJ Boating Safety Certificate. This course will provide the knowledge necessary to obtain that certification, and includes the proctored exam. The Flotilla 81 website
