Great instruction provided in a positive environment. Teacher was excellent

Fun & informative class I recommend this course for all water craft operators. Thank you Dan!

Excellent class! I learned a lot regarding safe operation and safety equipment to enjoy my time out on the water. The instructor was engaging and informative. Time well spent.

Excellent course, experienced teacher, I enjoyed the trainingand recommend it highly

Class was excellent. Alan Alterman did a terrific job In teaching the class & had a range of students from beginner to experienced boaters . He covered all the materials In a clear matter and kept everyone’s interest throughout the day. Alan is very experienced and helpful & I believe everyone, including those that are experience, walked away learning something. Under Briana‘s law, everyone is required to take a safe boating class.It’s a worthwhile class for everyone to take including experienced, to not only brush up, but learn new material to ensure that we all stay safe out on the water.

After having taken my previous Boating Certification over 15 years ago, and having logged many hours of safe boating experience, I found this course a very helpful refresh. Alan is very knowledgeable, thorough and engaging in his presentation. Thank you for a worthwhile day of learning and new confidence on how to continue with a fun and safe boating experience.

Allen was a great instructor. This was my first experience about boating safety and I learned alot. It was a very no stress atmosphere.

I’ve been boating for 25 years, just when you think that you know everything you learned something new. Very informative…

Very informative,Allen the instructor made it interesting n painless

I recommend this class and instructor to anyone who has to get their certification. Incredibly informative, I’ve been visiting for 25 years and learned so much from the class. If not for yourself, take the course for your loved ones and the people you’re responsible for while boating. I strongly recommend to get your kids involved in the course as well.

Great class with a lot of valuable info. Our instructor made the "long" class very interesting!

Alan is more than just a teacher, he is an expert with impressive credentials, and keeps the class moving at an appropriate pace. I’m not an experienced boater, and feel that taking his class had way more value than taking a marginally lower priced internet course.

I took a boating safety class here and had an excellent experience! The instructor Alan were knowledgeable, patient, and made the material easy to understand. I feel much more confident and prepared thanks to this class. Highly recommend it to anyone new to boating or looking to refresh their knowledge!

I wanted to take a class with my 15yo kid. We found this course online (via ChatGPT) and I called to find out some details. Alan was very informative, helped me make the best decision and walked me through the process. The class itself was scheduled a week after. We showed up a a local library, with a group of other students (ages 10 through 70) and started on time. The class was well structured, Alan, who happens to be an Aux Coast Guard commender shared amazing insights and experience. He made the instruction fun and engaging. I learned a lot, and so did my son. Both of us passed the test on the first try. I highly recommend this to anyone who wants to have a focused and engaging learning experience.

Great class I learned alot as a first time boater .. Stan was a great instructor

Alan is a pro and my wife and I feel better prepared to begin our journey as new boaters after taking his class. Highly recommended!

Good instructor,explain every detail for boating safety,all necessary tools and coastguard requirements before you go sailing, rules of the road,navigation and seamanship

Alan is the quintessential professional. His class was Intresting and his humor was a nice addition to an other wise fairly boring course context presentation. I retook the course as i had taken the course when I was 12 years old and again took with power squadron at age 16 navigation and then advanced navigation in the Loran days. All in all I would recommend Alan and his course to anyone and have already Recomended it to two friends. Aces!!!

excellent

Informative and Alan makes the class engaged making it easier and fun to learn and to sit through this whole day activity worthwhile! Highly recommended for all motoring water enthusiast!

The instructor was very friendly and did a great job teaching

Instructor was well educated and engaging

Went to the boating safety class with limited to no knowledge whatsoever. Came out feeling pretty confident due to the great experience I had. I highly recommend the in person course to get the most out of your learning. 10/10 experience.

Alan is the man. Anyone taking the course online is doing a disservice to themselves, the safety of their children and to the fellow boaters around them. I feel safe operating a jetski/boat after taking his class. He keeps the class light cracking a good joke here and there. Highly recommend. Go with your family you’ll enjoy the day. Thanks again Alan!

Went to the class with 4 of my family members and couldn’t recommend it high enough. Made what could be a dry topic very interesting and kept the students engaged. Blows away any online course.

The best class

The instructor is very excellent, I liked it as he explains from each chapter.

Excellent class. Doesn’t even feel like a class. More like a boating discussion where you will pick up all the safety rules, regs and procedures in a very informational and relaxed atmosphere. Highly recommend taking Alan’s class

The instructor and his assistant were professional . They had years of knowledge and experience . The instructor presented the material and interacted with the class . He had videos and power points and used props of Equiptment during the class . I left the class with more knowledge of boating and safety . Brianna’s law passing and making this a requirement is a blessing .

The boating safety class at croton yacht club was very good . I picked up good safety tips . Alan presented the information very well. I did enjoy the class

Thank you for making the day enjoyable and informative~ Sharyse

Course was effective for getting a NYS Boating Safety Certificate. You will likely learn some boating skills that you did not know.

The best teacher I'm new at boating and he made me feel very comfortable I'm glad I took the class

Superior boating safety class! Entertaining and informative at the same time. Alan is a true pro at teaching safety to all age groups.

Very well presented course. Instructor was well versed, and incorporated his years of experience with the lesson plan to provide an excellent learning platform.

The instructor was extremely interactive with the group. The class moved well covering all the topics. I really appreciated the emphasis placed on preparing your vessel, making sure your fuel and oil are checked, storage and or placement of safety equipment. He stressed informing the passengers as to safety equipment locations.The importance of asking your passengers if they can swim if not requesting they wear a life jacket. Things can happen quickly on the water. I would recommend the course to anyone in need well worth doing it in a group atmosphere.

Great class - very painless. Alan makes it interesting, and has not only some great tips, but also good stories. I have been boating for 5 yrs now, but learned a great deal. Def worth it.

Great day on Land to be safe on the Water!!!

Alan is a great instructor. I learned a lot about the boating class Highly recommended this boat safety course from Alan

Alan's knowledge is deep and his teaching style will reach all that attend the class!!!

Had a great experience. Instructor was very knowledgeable
