Saying
The class was very informative and taught my son and I so many lifesaving lessons. Amazing class!
excellent instructor, great class.
The class was well taught. I learned the skills that are needed to be a safe Boater. I would recommend this class to anyone. 5 Star Rating from me.
My best experience in that class it was a really nice teacher and explain everything point a to point B. Is the best place to get your your boat and JetSki license
Informative, practical, the day goes fast
The instructor was excellent, and I recommend this course to everyone because it can save lives. Many people need to realize the importance of following rules, so they can prevent a tragedy from occurring. Being on a boat can be a lovely experience, but take the course so you can learn the rules and safety recommendations so it can be a wonderful experience.
