Classes cover navigation, general deck safety, rules of the nautical road, lights, shapes and signals, and the Code of Federal Regulation (CFR). Classroom sessions include plotting courses on charts, tying knots, forecasting weather and handling fire situations along with various other emergency scenarios at sea.The completion of these lessons prepares students for the Professional Boat Captain Coast Guard test. Successful candidates enjoy the responsibility and satisfaction associated with commanding a commercial passenger vessel.
