EDUCATION
PUBLIC COURSES
The United States Power Squadrons believes
an educated boater is a safer boater.
Our goal is "safe boating through education".
There are three primary courses that are available to the Public, America's Boating Course 3rd Edition, the Squadron Boating Course and Boat Smart. All of these courses are designed to be useful to all boaters, from the fisherman in an outboard to the skipper of a large cruiser or sailboat.
All boaters are subject to nautical rules and regulations.
Skippers should learn and respect traditional boating courtesies.
The courses are designed to familiarize the student with the
fundamentals of safe boating and each satisfies the requirement
for certification in most states that require boating education
before operating a watercraft.
Qualified, enthusiastic, and experienced USPS instructors provide
instruction as a civic service. There is never a charge for instruction;
the only costs are those for materials, plus overhead costs such as
classroom rental, shipping and handling, sales tax, etc. As boating
is often a family activity, the courses are of value to all members
of a boating family. USPS encourages families to attend as groups.
Choose a course from the list to the left.
