Boat Oregon Class (BOC)- Oregon State Marine Board & Partners
Classroom courses vary in length and cost, depending on the course provider. Marine Board Volunteer Instructors teach Boat Oregon - A Course on Responsible Boating, throughout the state, for a nominal fee.
Classes offer students the chance to interact with an experienced boater and learn in a fun, relaxed atmosphere. It's also a great way to learn specific local information and network with other boaters.
Upon successfully passing (70% or better), boaters are issued a certificate of completion and a Boater Education Card application. The student is responsible for mailing in their application materials to the Marine Board.
Boat Oregon Class (BOC)- Private Course Provider
One-day "Hands On" Boaters Safety School. Combines safety education with boat handling skills. Your Boat is your classroom. Contact Bob Kelso at 503-887-0899 or www.startboatingbest.com.
