Getting Boating Safety Certified

Getting your boating safety certification is necessary for anyone who wants to be a safe and responsible boater. Getting your certification isn’t something that’s limited to just youth boaters getting started – it is for adults that are just getting into boating too. Classes are available online or in person. Join our youth hosts as they meet with the US Coast Guard Auxiliary near Lake Michigan and discover the important lessons in the basics of boating safety and getting boating safety certified.
