Beginning July 1, 2016, all personal watercraft operators age 14 and older and all motorboat operators regardless of age need to take a boating safety course.
This Boating Safety class is offered in two parts. It is necessary to attend on both Tuesday, 12 June and Wednesday, June 13 from 5-9 p.m.
The Boating Safety classes will be held in Rooker Hall Auditorium at New River Community College at 5251 College Drive, Dublin.
The course is taught by United States Coast Guard Auxiliary Flotilla 83 and the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries.
Materials and instruction are free of charge. Bring a pencil and highlighter. Each graduate earns a wallet card showing successful completion of the class. Most major insurance companies endorse the course and allow insurance premium discounts to graduates.
The course meets the requirements of Virginia Boating Safety Laws. Children 12 and under must be accompanied by an adult.
Pre-Registration is required. Online registration is at www.register-ed.com/events/view/120705.
