Ellsworth Adult & Community Education Center hosts this class. It is offered by the Penobscot Bay Sail & Power Squadron-America's Boating Club, For Boaters, By Boaters. We've been making boating safer and more enjoyable for over 100 years. This basic boating class reduces your risk of accidents and injuries, saves you money on boat insurance, and qualifies you for a state boat license or operator certificate in most states (including Maine). It is the most comprehensive, single source, in-person boating course available to give you the skills you need to enjoy your time on the water and boat with confidence. The Penobscot Bay Power Squadron will provide a course manual in one of two formats - print ($70) or ebook ($70). You will want to read through the manual before the start of the course. Often people take this course with a family member or friend, and the manuals are easily shared so it's not included in the cost of the course. Make-up date, if needed, to be determined.
