Boat Handling Workshop

Gain more time behind the wheel with these 2.5 hour weekday workshops to focus on boat handling and develop instincts around the dock and common encounters.

Workshop Info

These workshops will help feel more comfortable on your everyday boating situations.  Many of our renters just need more time on the water to make your boat handling maneuvers second nature, just like driving a car.  A session or a few will give confidence when leaving our dock, when pulling up to dock and dine, when getting close to the beach, picking up one of our moorings, holding position, pivoting your boat in a tight space, and getting a grip for how the boat is affected by the wind!  Make boat handling second nature to enhance your experience on the water!
