U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary offers boating safety classes

When things don’t go as planned, would you know what to do?

“Attending an in-person class is an excellent opportunity for students to interact, share perspectives and gain local knowledge. Participants learn about the importance of life jackets, risk reduction, preparedness and exercising sound judgment,” said Flotilla Commander Greg Masonic.

The U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary is offering multiple sessions of a one-day responsible boating class at the Pine Ridge Community Center in Fort Myers. Completion of the course makes participants eligible for the state boating certificate.

Enrollment in the class is $45 per person. Learn more at Aux91FMB.org.
