Breakwater Boats is committed in the promotion of boating safety. We have identified several programs that provide basic boating and piloting fundamentals and instruction for those who wish to participate in our lease share program. Programs range from a practical 3-hour sea trail, or basic refresher course, to a full fundamental boat operation and piloting course designed for the novice boater.
We recommend all applicants participate and successfully complete a United States Coast Guard Auxiliary or Power Squadron education and examination program prior to participating in the lease share program. If the applicant has existing boating experience, we will provide a hands-on instruction sea trial to familiarize the applicant with our boats.
Regardless of the applicants boating experience, Breakwater Boats & Yachts will assist and support their enrollment in a training course that will enhance their ability to safely pilot and operate a boat.
Important Note
Florida Boating Safety Educational Requirements were updated January 1, 2010. This update requires boat operators who were born on or after January 1, 1988 to obtain a Florida Boating Safety Education Identification Card in order to operate a motorboat with ten horsepower or more.
