Boat Responsibly, Return Safely- The most common reason for boating accidents is complacency which leads to a lack of situational awareness. Experienced boaters are most at risk for this, it’s easy to lose focus when you are relaxed and having fun. We all know accidents can happen in a second on the water. The Maryland Safe Boating Course is not just for beginners, it’s a great way to refresh boating skills that have not been used over the winter. Certified instructors from the Ocean City Coast Guard Aux. will be offering this comprehensive class. All the required material is covered plus information on local waters and nautical navigation.
The Maryland Boating Safety Education Act requires that anyone born after July 1, 1972 must possess a Maryland Basic Boating Safety Certificate to operate a boat in the state of Maryland. Those attending the class, and passing the test will receive a Maryland Boating Certificate which is NASBLA approved and valid in all states.
