ST MICHAELS, MD – The Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum is offering five Maryland DNR-approved boater safety courses, beginning on select dates in April and continuing through August. Courses will be held April 3–4 from 5–9pm, May 4–5 from 9am–1pm, June 20–21 from 5–9pm, July 13–14 from 1–5pm, and Aug. 7–8 from 5–9pm.
Each two-day course will be held in CBMM’s Van Lennep Auditorium and taught by CBMM Floating Fleet Captain Christian Cabral. The cost is $25 per session, with space limited and registration required. A 20% discount is available for CBMM members.
Participants completing the course and passing the test will receive a Maryland Boating Safety Education Certificate, which is valid for life. The certificate is required for anyone born on or after July 1, 1972, and who operates a numbered or documented vessel on Maryland waters. The course is also recommended for anyone looking to become a safer, more experienced boater or personal water craft operator.
Participants must be 12 years of age and older, with early registration recommended as classes fill fast. To register, go to cbmm.org/boatersafety and choose from dates listed.
