Boater Safety Classes

It is that time of year when many of us are thinking about taking to the water. In New York State anyone under the age of 18 must have taken and passed an 8 hour Boater Safety Class in order to operate legally. Also ALL operators of Personal Watercraft (PWC) must also take the same course. Please take a minute to  become aware of this training along with equipping and operating your craft in a safe manner.

It is also a good time to inspect your boat or watercraft to be sure you have the proper safety equipment required by NYS law.
