Location:
Hough’s Neck Maritime Center, 137 Bay View Ave. (next to the Quincy Yacht Club on Sea Street).
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. Courses are nationally approved, and course completion will allow persons to legally operate a boat in states requiring Basic Boating Safety Courses. Everyone who completes the course will be issued a Basic Boating Safety Certificate. Completion of the course by persons between 12 to 16 years of age will allow them to operate a motor boat without adult supervision. In addition, some insurance companies offer policy discounts for customers that complete a Basic Boating Safety Course. To register for a course or for more information please call the Massachusetts Environmental Police Department at 508-759-0002.
