This is a real specialty of Coastal Passage. They provide a professional, certified instructor who has the ability to teach you whatever you need – or want -- to learn about your boat or yacht. Whether you are just starting out, want to enhance your piloting and navigational skills or want to become a licensed captain, a program can be designed for you. Their progressive boat training approach will increase your confidence on the water, which in turn will increase your enjoyment of your boating experiences. Learning to deal with the ocean can be challenging for those who come from boating on inland waters. Coastal Passage understands this specific need and can give you the nautical training and confidence you need.

Boat training topics addressed include: cruise planning and weather analysis; radio communications skills; docking techniques; anchoring; close-quarter maneuvers; on-board systems operations; contingency planning; equipment maintenance and storage. Training is typically done on your boat and in your local waters. Instruction fees are based on the type of training required, topics to be covered and the length of time involved – in other words, instructional fees are determined based on your needs -- and the course that is designed to fit those needs.
