SEMINOLE – St. Petersburg College will offer a boater safety class on Saturday, Sept. 29, at the Seminole campus library.
This one-day, eight-hour classroom and hands-on course, uses the State of Florida boaters curriculum and is designed for boaters who cannot find the time for a multi-week boater course.
The class meets the requirements for certification of youthful operators of a vessel with 10-horsepower motors or larger. It is offered as a mandatory education class for boating violators.
The 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 is submitted to the State of Florida for documentation. It also 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 tuition for the class is $35.
To register, call 341-3184.
