The Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum is once again offering Maryland DNR-approved boater safety courses, with three-session courses to be held throughout spring and summer. All programs will be virtual, held via Zoom, and led by qualified CBMM staff members. The cost to attend is $25 per person, with space limited and registration required. A 20% discount is available for CBMM members.
Courses are currently scheduled for 5–8pm April 11, 18, and 25, July 19–21, and Aug. 23–25, and from 5:30–8:30pm May 17–19. Participants should plan to attend all three sessions of their selected course.
Boater’s Safety Courses teach participants the basics needed to safely and confidently operate a vessel on Maryland waterways. Individuals and families with children 10 and older are welcome to participate. Maryland boaters born after July 1, 1972, are required to have a Certificate of Boating Safety Education. Participants must attend all sessions and pass the Department of Natural Resources exam to earn a certificate that is good for life.
Participants must be 10 years of age and older, with early registration recommended as classes typically fill fast. To register, go to bit.ly/BoaterSafetyCourses.
