Quincy Police Department Will Be Providing Free Basic Boating Safety Courses To Citizens
The Quincy Police Marine Unit, in partnership with the Massachusetts
Environmental Police, will be presenting three Basic Boating Safety Courses at no cost to the public. These courses are designed for persons of all ages, regardless of boating skill.
These courses are federally approved, and course completion will allow persons to legally operate a boat in states that require completion of a Basic Boating Safety Course. Everyone who completes a course will be issued a Basic Boating Safety Certificate. Completion of a course by persons between 12 and 16 years of age will allow them to operate a motorboat without adult supervision. In addition, some insurance companies offer policy discounts for customers that complete a Basic Boating Safety Course.
The courses are taught at the Houghs Neck Maritime Center, located at 137 Bay View Ave, in Quincy (next to the Quincy Yacht Club on Sea Street).
The course dates are:
| 1. Saturdays, April 11, 18, 25 |
|
Course Time 8:30 AM till 12:30 PM |
|
| 2. Saturdays, May 2, 9, 16 |
