What is a Powerboat School?
Powerboat Schools support the mission of US Powerboating by providing recreational boaters of all skill levels with access to hands-on, on-the-water training and education courses. They support the U.S. Coast Guard's mission to minimize the loss of life, personal injury, property damage, and environmental impact associated with the use of recreational boats, through preventive means, in order to maximize safe use and enjoyment of U.S. Waterways by the public.
