Boating Alaska

Boating Alaska is a course designed for adults (and teens) that targets the key issues relating to boating in Alaska. This course is taught in person (or over Zoom) and can be completed in approximately 2 hours. Topics include pre-departure preparation, boat operation, laws and regulations, boating emergencies, and cold water immersion. The exact topics covered can be tailored to the interests and needs of your group.

Alternatively, a Cold Water Survival class (focusing on the stages of cold water immersion and the importance of wearing a life jacket) can be taught if only 1 hour is available.

To schedule a Boating Alaska presentation for your group, please contact Annie Grenier.
