“I had taken a similar boating course many years age and this BoatRI Boating Safety Course most definitely expanded my boating safety knowledge. The instructor is superbly knowledgeable of the boating safety subject matter. I’m thrilled to have taken this course. I’m looking forward to taking his Navigation 101 Course.”
