Alaska Water Wise

The Alaska Boating Safety Program is pleased to offer Alaska Water Wise, a boating course for Alaskans. This course has been approved by the National Association of State Boating Law Administrators (NASBLA) and is recognized by the U.S. Coast Guard. The course satisfies most states' boating safety education requirements and may qualify boaters for boat insurance discounts.

Segments include pre-departure preparation, boat operation, boating emergencies, cold-water survival, the navigation rules of the road, and legal requirements. Students who attend all sessions, and pass the written exam and skills will be issued a course completion certificate.

For more information or to schedule a course in your community, please contact Joe McCullough, Education Coordinator.
