St. Petersburg College is launching the State of Florida approved Boater safety class at the Seminole campus on Saturday, Sept. 27. This one-day, 8-hour classroom and hands-on course, appeals to boaters who cannot find the time for a four-week boater course.
This class meets the requirements for certification of youthful operators of a vessel with 10 HP motors or larger. It is offered as a mandatory education class for boating violators. This course is also a great refresher course for any boater and may be used for boater insurance discount credit. The course includes an exam and a certificate of completion, which allows the boating violators immediate resumption of their water activities.
Topics include boat types, safety equipment, navigation rules, local charts, waterway markings, knot tying and waverunner operation.
The next class is scheduled for Saturday, Nov. 8. For information or to register call SPC’s Lifelong Learning department at 727-341-3184 or visit www.spcollege.edu/LifelongLearning .
