Safe Powerboat Handling & Rescue

Contact: Rob Gibbs - 602.574.3000

This two-day, hands-on, on-the-water course is designed for people who want to learn how to safely operate a powerboat or improve your boathandling skills.

The National Association of State Boating Law Administrators (NASBLA) has approved this US Sailing course and an increasing number of states are recognizing it as a way of meeting their boating safety education requirements. The course is offered by US Sailing's participating facilities throughout the United States and is taught by US Sailing Certified Powerboat Instructors.

The course includes the Safety, Rescue and Support endorsement for anyone using powerboats to perform safety and rescue functions, such as sailing instructors, coaches, regatta personnel, marine patrols, police and fire rescue personnel, and park rangers—as well as people who want to be certified as operators of race support boats.

Class description: As a graduate of this class, you’ll be qualified to handle a powered runabout and will be ready to provide support and rescue to boats and boaters in distress.
