Company Offers Boater Training
NJ Angler, March 2001

A group of marine industry professionals felt there was a need to start an "on the water" training company to help the average boater enjoy the great sport of boating, while putting an emphasis on safety. Boatboy Marine Training was born. It is a specialized on-the-water instruction course for novice and experienced boaters.

According to Master Instructor Russ Cohen, "We are not a classroom training company. We recommend our customers take a classroom course, like the one offered by the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary. We want to bridge the gap, taking the knowledge learned in the classroom directly to the water, where our customers do their boating. We also offer our service to marinas and dealers for the boats they sell."

The course includes an easy to understand waterproof laminated handbook that boaters can use time and again while they are actually cruising. They have also created an "Emergency Scenario Manual" with step-by-step instructions on what to do if an emergency should arise.
