PUBLIC EDUCATION

One of the Coast Guard Auxiliary's cornerstone missions has always been educating the public on boating safety. Our classes will not only give you valuable information, but allow you to interact and work one-on-one with seasoned boaters. Your local division and its constituent flotillas periodically offer educational opportunities for the boating public. Upcoming classes are listed in the table below; either call the telephone number or e-mail the contact listed in the far right column for more specific details.

New York State requires all PWC (Personal Water Craft) & Jet Ski operators to complete a course in boating safety.

ABS (About Boating Safely) is recommended by the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary and meets requirements for PWC, Jet Ski & Boat Operation in New York State. (ABS is also recognized throughout the U.S. as a safe boating course and approved by the U.S. Coast Guard and the National Association of State Boating Law Administrators)

**New York State has raised the minimum age to operate a PWC (Personal Water Craft) or Jet Ski  to 14 years of age.  See how the new law effects you.
