Confidence operating your own boat - launching, docking, navigating, more!  Boat Safe Connecticut is certified by the National Safe Boating Council for its 'Open Water Boat Control' & 'Close Quarters Boat Control' hands-on training performed under the direct supervision of a NSBC instructor and U.S.C.G. Licensed Captain.  Travel charges may apply.

We offer Captain's Services by USCG licensed Captains for charters, on-water vessel transport between US locations & new vessel on-water deliveries.

All Boat Safe Connecticut sponsored public classes are $95.00 per student, are eight hours in length, and are held throughout Connecticut at various Yacht Clubs and Marinas, Sporting Goods and boating stores, Town Halls, Fire Departments, Senior Centers and Park & Rec. Departments (Note: Towns, Park & Rec. Departments and Yacht Clubs may set their own prices).  Late registration/walk-ins are accommodated with space available.

For your convenience, private classes can be held within days of initial contact.  Costs are: $495.00 for up to 4 students, $95.00 for each additional student. No limit to number of students. Classes are eight hours, held in a day or evening format, and conducted over one or more days to meet your requirements.

This option is for individuals either with or without prior certification who are not interested in obtaining a "Certificate of Personal Watercraft Operation" but want to learn the basics of boating to be a guest of others, or wish to refresh their knowledge of boating safety and operation.  In addition, use this option to add the "jet-ski" operator certification to your current "Safe Boating Certificate."  All former Boat Safe Connecticut students are welcome to audit any future class for free.
