CONTINUING YOUR BOATING EDUCATION
A responsible boat operator will continually seek information on the safe and legal aspects of recreational boating. What you have learned in this course is but the beginning of a boater’s education and other courses are available. Learn more about safe and legal boating by taking additional classes such as navigation, GPS, engine maintenance and first aid. The more you know, the more confidence you will have on the water and the less likely you will encounter problems.
It is important for boat operators to understand that one of their responsibilities is to keep up-to-date with new developments in boating laws and safety information. State laws vary with regard to licensing, equipment requirements, accident reporting procedures, etc. Thus, boaters must be aware of the rules in the states in which they are operating in addition to those in their home state. The boating equipment and safety information available to boat operators is constantly changing and improving. Boat operators who stay abreast of these changes will be ready for new situations, thus improving their own boating enjoyment as well as the safety of all boating participants. Skills based and/or advanced courses involving navigation, piloting, etc., are available.
