Sign Up For Chicago’s New On-Water Powerboat Class

Chicago boaters, start the season with a refresher course! A new partnership between Boat Safe Chicago, Carefree Boat Club, and the BoatUS Foundation for Boating Safety and Clean Water is launching a series of three-hour courses for beginner and experienced boat operators at the 31st Street Boat Harbor in Chicago. Courses are offered aboard 19- to 26-foot single-engine powerboats.

“You’ll get real hands-on experience, helping you learn how to safely maneuver a boat and build confidence,” says Alan Dennison, program supervisor for BoatUS Foundation. “These courses are great for those who just bought a boat, as well as anyone seeking to increase their boat handling skills.”

Class size is limited to four students per vessel, ensuring each gets sufficient time at the helm under the watchful eye of a U.S. Coast Guard-licensed captain certified to teach the National Safe Boating Council modular curriculum. All courses depart from Carefree Boat Club Chicago at 31st Street Harbor.
