The Squadron Boating Course is one of our courses designed to familiarize the student with the fundamentals of safe boating and qualify for certification in most states that require boating education before operating a watercraft. Subjects include:

Boat handling under normal conditions
Adverse conditions and emergencies
Types of boats and boating terminology
Required and recommended equipment
Boating regulations and navigation rules
Lines and knots
Charts and aids to navigation
Piloting techniques (in Boating only)
Marine radiotelephone usage
Trailer boating
And much, much more

These are instructor taught classes offering an opportunity for feedback and comaraderie.

Upon successful completion of the Boating Course, the student will be invited to join the Duluth Sail and Power Squadron. Member benefits include access to Education Department elective and member classes including Seamanship, Piloting, Advanced Piloting, Weather, Engine Maintenance, GPS and others. Other Squadron activities include safety demonstrations, use of the Squadron dock and many social activities.
