It's never been more convenient to take a boating course and earn a Pennsylvania Boating Safety Education Certificate. The Wilkes-Barre Flotilla 15-03 of the US Coast Guard Auxiliary will offer four ABC Basic Boating Courses at three area locations in Luzerne County. The courses are state-authorized and meet all Coast Guard, PA Fish and Boat Commission and insurance company requirements for a basic boating course. The fee of $25 covers all materials including a book, CD on boating safety and a completion certificate. Each of these are
8-hour
or two 4 hour courses .

These courses satisfy Pennsylvania boater
education law requiring operators to have a Pennsylvania Boating Safety
Education Certificate. Taking a boat safety course will teach you about boater
safety and Pennsylvania boating laws, and may also make you eligible for a
discount on your personal watercraft (jet ski) or boat insurance!
Pennsylvania law requires these
persons to successfully complete an approved boating safety course before
operating on Pennsylvania waters:
- All operators of
personal watercraft (such as Jet Skis®, Sea Doos®, etc.)
- All persons born on
or after January 1, 1982 operating any boat with a motor of over 25
horsepower.
Take a
GPS Course too.
In addition the Flotilla will offer two GPS courses entitled “Basic GPS for Hunters,
Fisherman and Boaters”. Cost of
this 3 hr course is $15.00. An approved
textbook is available for an additional $15.
The text is recommended but not required for this first course. An
advanced course, GPS for Mariners, will follow up the introductory
course.
