Training FAQs

How does the training work?

Our training is 100% hands-on. We move from theory directly to practical maneuvers, focusing on navigation, docking, and safety protocols relevant to your experience level.

Can I use my own boat?

Absolutely. In fact, training on your own boat is encouraged so you become proficient with your specific equipment and vessel handling characteristics.

What should I expect during a session?

Expect a professional, patient session with a USCG licensed captain. You'll spend most of the time at the helm, practicing real-world scenarios in varying conditions.

How is scheduling confirmed?

After submitting the training request form, our lead instructor will contact you directly to discuss your goals, vessel details, and finalize a time that fits your schedule.
