We are excited to be offering a new series of certifications specifically for power boaters. The Certification Series of US Powerboating has established definitive national standards to validate knowledge and practical skills of operators of sport and cruising powerboats.

US Powerboating is organized to directly address the educational needs of powerboat owners and operators in the United States and is an affiliate of US SAILING, the national governing body for the sport of sailing. OCC's existing powerboat courses along with the new certifications offer extensive on-the-water powerboat training and classroom instruction with certified instructors to help you gain the confidence required for operating your own boat, or chartering in distant ports for a dream come true vacation.  Courses start at the entry level and progress into advanced boathandling, cruising, and applied piloting and navigation.

As a precurser to your certification course and hands-on training we encourage you to visit www.uspowerboating.com/online_education.htm for a review on rules, a pre-test, etc.
