St. Michaels, MD -- The Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum in St. Michaels is offering a two-day Boater Safety Course on June 7 and 8. The course will be held from 6 to 10 p.m. each day on the museum’s campus. Any Maryland boater born after July 1, 1972, is required to have a Certificate of Boating Safety Education, in order to operate a vessel. Those under 16 who are operating a motorized boat 11 feet or more and do not have a valid Certificate of Boating Safety Education must be supervised by someone at least 18.
The certificate is obtained by passing a Department of Natural Resources approved boating safety course, and once obtained, the certificate is valid for life. Participants completing the course and passing the test will receive this certificate. The course is also recommended for anyone looking to become a safer, more experienced boater.
The cost is $25 with advanced registration needed. For more information or to register, call Helen Van Fleet at 410-745-4941.
