Guide to Boating Education and Training

Learn about navigation, sailing and boating education and training fit for the amateur or pro

By Katherine Kay


Boating instruction is an individualized process. Choices and options for training and education run the gamut. There are online courses and certifications. There are also hands-on training and schools.

Sailors and boaters need to look at the equation at a deeper level and ask questions, "Do I need a rigorous training program to be the captain of my ship?” or, "Do I need a simpler boat safety course or certification to be the cook on a cruise ship or fishing boat?" You can get a head start on your search right here. Thorough research is necessary to find the right opportunities and specific training. In addition, there are plenty of less than sterling courses out there. Buyer beware. Consider the following when looking for your school:

1. Use online boating schools to get the training you need.

2. Look at onshore and on-board schools for your boat training.

3. Find sailing schools and training for ocean navigation.

Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done


Take a rigorous online boat course

There are a number of online training programs even in boating. Look for testimonials and professional looking websites. There are as many or more low standard programs and even scams online, as well. Find the great programs by researching, asking questions and scrutinizing.

I recommend: Go to BoatEd and study official boating safety to obtain certification recognized by waterway officers. Boater 101 offers an online course in safe boating practices. Complete the course at your own pace to receive your certification.

Use official and established boat schools for your certifications and training

Go to an established school for your education or certification that will hold up under scrutiny. The US Coast Guard and state Fish and Game Commissions offer strong programs in boating instruction.

I recommend: Coast Guard courses give instruction to boaters of all experience levels. Get their training for your boat license or safety certification. Arizona Game and Fish Boating Education offers National Association of State Boating Law Administrators (NASBLA) approved courses that include nautical and general information. Most insurance companies give discounts for completing their boating education and training course. Bridgeway Center offers boating safety courses that meet the Florida basic boat safety education. Arkansas Game and Fish Commission offers boat safety training.

Find sailing lessons for ocean or fresh water sailing

Ocean navigation, celestial navigation, offshore and onshore training programs are available. You can find out about many of these programs at the following websites.

I recommend: Talk to the experts at the Great Hudson Sailing Center about sailing classes. Offshore Sailing School offers certification to corporate and special groups. Look into their women programs, sailboat races and celestial and coastal navigation training. School of Ocean Sailing offers advanced navigation techniques in ocean sailing and navigation.

Tips & Tactics

Helpful advice for making the most of this Guide

  • •  It's easy to find a boat school on the Internet. However, watch the fine print. Look at the testimonials. Check Better Business Bureaus. Compare prices. Make sure the school is not too expensive compared to other schools, and that it offers a good solid program.
