Our Training Approach

National Safe Boating Council’s Boat Control On-Water Training course offers small group on-water power boat instruction in a ratio of 1 instructor to 4 students. The course may only be taught be a NSBC Certified Instructor. 

Training advances boaters through four modules:
   Module 1: Introduction to Powerboating
     Module 2: Precision Docking and Boat Handling
       Module 3: Open Water Boat Handling
         Module 4: Open Water Advanced Maneuvers.

Each maneuver is repeated advancing from idle speed to displacement mode, then planing mode. A boater may take one or all four modules. NSBC’s Boat Control On-Water Training course offers small group on-water power boat
