South Florida is such a popular boating destination and our goal is to help make boating safer for everyone.

 

New to the world of boating? Interested in purchasing a boat and ensuring that you can navigate safely? Miami Boating Lessons offers a customized hands-on boating course designed to suit both you and your vessel, providing you with the skills to handle your boat like an experienced captain. Instructed by our United States Coast Guard-licensed captain, you'll receive comprehensive education on safe boat operation.

 

Our course kicks off with a 3-hour hands-on session at the helm of your boat, all under the expert guidance of our licensed captain. Forget classrooms – you'll be learning to operate your boat both at the marina and on the water. By the end of the session, you'll possess the confidence and abilities needed to operate your boat safely.
