We are happy to offer two types of recreational boaters courses. The first is through our affiliation with ASA. The second are courses developed based on our experience as USCG Approved Course instructors

We have just completed the Marine Radar for Recreation Boaters 101. If you have radar and do not know how to use it, this course is for you. If you have marine radar someone on the boat must know how to use it. Not just for safety, but it is also the law. Here are the course details.

ASA Navigation Courses

We offer two ASA navigation courses. These include:

Radar Endorsement (Radar) Basic knowledge of chart reading, compass use, piloting, and dead reckoning is required, equivalent to Coastal Navigation 105 or instructor’s approval.

A realistic PC based radar simulator is used in the course to illustrate radar measurements.

Coastal Navigation Standard (105); General Description: Able to demonstrate the navigational theory required to safely navigate a sailing vessel in coastal or inland waters. There is no Sailing Skills part to this Standard and practical application of this Sailing Knowledge is found in the Advanced Coastal Cruising Standard.
