All participants who successfully complete the course will receive a National Association of State Boating Law Administrators (NASBLA) safe boating certificate, a Rhode Island state boating license, and US Powerboating “Start Powerboating Right” certification.
Dates and locations include:
July 6-7, Wickford (With optional advanced boat handling on July 8)
