Boating Safety Courses
The Coast Guard Auxiliary is noted for its Public Education courses which teach safe boating principles, practices and legal responsibilities. In addition to becoming a safer boater, you could be trained to be an Instructor for any course we offer.
A list of Auxiliary
courses is provided in the table below with links to descriptions of each of the
courses. Our Flotilla offers the courses that are highlighted in the first
column. To
