• When owning a boat, the most important thing you must do is learn how to operate it properly for maximum safety and enjoyment. Whether you own an inflatable boat that you need to row, a fishing boat with a trolling motor, or a 50-foot sailboat, your greatest need is knowledge. A good boating school can teach you everything you need to know.
• Before you start looking for a school, you must first answer four questions in order to select the desired training and the right school.
• Why do you need a boat school?
• Do you need certification to get a boat license? Have you just inherited a boat and don’t know how to operate it safely? Or maybe you don’t own a boat at all, but you have a fishing friend who has a boat but doesn’t know anything about their own boat. These questions will determine how much instruction you need.
• What kind of boating will you do?
• The type of water you will be enjoying will determine the type of boat you have. We assume that you already own or know what type of boat you are going to buy and that it is suitable for boating on an ocean, river, pond or lake. Each of these four waterways has its own challenges and different safety and operating instructions. Sailboating is a very different skill from fishing.
• Speed boaters like to move fast, while most fishermen need a boat to get to the fish, so they usually move more slowly. It is important to know what type of boating you will be doing before finding a boating school.
• How much time would you like to spend?
• You can find courses that last just a day, a weekend, and up to several weeks, depending on what type of boating instruction you need.
• What’s in your budget?
• You may only need a course that gets you a state boat license. These courses typically last one day and cost $100 or less. More complex courses like sailing or yachting can cost thousands of dollars and take weeks to complete.
• If you haven’t bought your boat yet, this is atime to start researching the cost of a boat school.
