USCG Auxillary Boat America Course
Saturday, May 17, 2025 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM
The United States Coast Guard Auxiliary Tri-State Flotilla, Massachusetts headquartered in Uxbridge has offered several boating courses to hundreds of students since 1961. They are ready to offer the NASBLA & Mass. EP approved Boat America Course (BA) in a one-day class format on Saturdays to meet the anticipated high demand for available in-person instruction. This course goes beyond the standard textbook also including marlinspike seamanship (knots etc.) and detailed handouts. Most boaters find this one-day format the best way to certification over online classes. Completion of this BA course will certify boaters to current requirements in Mass., CT, and RI along with reciprocity where an SBC might be required. Most boating insurance companies offer a discount on premiums for successful completion of the BA course.
Whether you are an experienced boater or just starting out, the knowledge gained from a boating safety course will help keep you, your passengers, and our waterways safe. We currently scheduled four BA one-day certification courses in two locations this winter/spring. Participants 16 years old and under must be accompanied, in person, by a registered parent/guardian.
