Students spend 2 evenings in class plus 2 days on the water aboard our 20 foot power boat. Course manuals are provided at registration and should be reviewed before you start your on-water instruction. You will now begin your hands on experience with your boating adventure. This course will provide you with QuickNAV and CYA Power Certification.  Each of these certifications can be taken together or separate to suit your time frame.

 

The basics of safety, boating terminology, systems, tying knots and hitches, and rules of the road are provided in a serious, fun atmosphere where classroom and hands-on approach are provided to the student before our cruise in English Bay.

This certification is generally recognized as the minimum requirement to charter a vessel for day cruising during daylight hours in local waters. Topics covered are: handling a powerboat while underway, docking, anchoring, person overboard and retrieval drills, weather, collision regulations, and basic navigation as well as the Canadian Aids to Navigation System.  Make the most of your course time with two days on the water putting your skills to work with some classroom work on charting.

 

Take advantage of our yacht lease or charter program!  Enjoy the freedom of cruising during the day in sight of land.

You will need your VHF Radio Operators Certificate.

Get even more comfortable on your own with our Coastal Navigation Certification course.

Upon completion of this course you will have exceeded the experience required to write the Canadian Coast Guard (CCG) mandatory "Pleasure Craft Operator Card" certification with us here at QuickNAV.
