      This was an excellent class and the instructor, Captain ****** was fantastic. Firstly, it was the least expensive of all the approved third party providers. Secondly, Captain ***** managed to conduct a 7+ hour class in a way that was enjoyable and informative. He covered everything on the test (I easily got 100% and I didnt know any of the answers before!) and provided tips and tricks to remember the answers not just for the exam, but also for use in the future. I learned a lot and really enjoyed listening to him. I highly recommend this company and Captain ****** course in particular. Happy Boating!

      I recently attended a boating course at Safe Boarding America, and it was an outstanding experience. The instructor, ****, was incredibly knowledgeable and skilled in all aspects of boating. His expertise and passion for boating were evident from the very beginning, making the learning process both informative and enjoyable. ****'s depth of knowledge was impressive, covering everything from basic navigation to advanced safety procedures with clarity and precision. He was patient, attentive, and always willing to answer questions, ensuring that every student fully understood the material. His ability to explain complex concepts in an easy-to-understand manner was particularly commendable.In addition to his expertise, **** exhibited excellent communication skills, making the lessons engaging and interactive. His hands-on approach provided practical experience, allowing us to gain confidence in our boating abilities. **** also demonstrated a strong emphasis on safety, instilling best practices and protocols that are essential for responsible boating. The course structure at Safe Boarding America was well-organized, and the materials provided were comprehensive and useful. The facility itself was top-notch, offering a conducive learning environment with all the necessary equipment. I highly recommend Safe Boarding America to anyone looking to improve their boating skills or obtain certification. With instructors like ****, you can be assured of receiving high-quality education and training that will prepare you for any boating adventure.

      The Person teaching this class was very Professional in his approach to teaching me and the other Boaters in the class the rules of the road, sort of speak. His class is both enlightening and educational. He makes sure you understand the material. In talking with him after class, I learned he goes to great lengths to offer his classes to boaters all over the tri-state area. I was surprised to see how far he'd travel to teach a class of as little as 10 people. I read one of the reviews where another person mentioned a free service. Remember, You get what you pay for. And this class was worth every *****. This isn't a hobby, it's a business: Making Boaters aware of how to enjoy their boat, and feel safe by recognizing the possible hazards of boating.

      The class was very straight forward and educational. Our instructor did the best he could to liven up the at times dry material we had to learn required by NYS. Great class and very personable instructor!
