Boston Whaler Builds On A Series’ Fearless Legacy with the Bold New 220 And 250 Dauntless

DGEWATER, Fla. (Dec. 1, 2020) — For decades, the Boston Whaler Dauntless series has led the industry in confident performance and multitasking capabilities. Now, the brand has introduced a bold new definition of “dauntless” with the debut of two exciting new models: the 220 and 250 Dauntless. “True to their name and heritage, the Dauntless models empower boaters to approach the water fearlessly, taking on new activities and exploring new territory with confidence,” said Nick Stickler, President, Boston Whaler. “The 220 and 250 are highly versatile, with the performance and features to unlock everything the water has to offer. We’re thrilled to introduce this next evolution of the popular Dauntless series.” Striking features of the 220 and 250 include their graceful sheer line and 18-degree deadrise. Their precision-engineered hulls deliver predictable handling and a remarkably soft, stable ride, even in choppy conditions. Boaters can safely head offshore as well as inshore, elevating the Dauntless above and beyond a typical bay boat. The intuitive helm station on each boat includes a Mercury® SmartCraft deluxe gauge package and an optional Fusion® stereo with JL Audio® speakers, for easy command and top-quality sound, respectively.

The bow area of the Dauntless line has always been a crowd-pleaser, and the 220 and 250 take its appeal to the next level. Directly in front of the

console, a spacious bow lounge includes armrests and cup holders. The seat lifts open to reveal a cavernous storage compartment with space for multiple rods, buckets, PFDs and more. Active boaters will appreciate options like Whaler’s All-Activity Tower®, which has a casting platform, watersports tow point, and ski and wakeboard racks. Cutting-edge Mercury propulsion provides plenty of get-up-and-go for fast-paced laps around the lake, and swimmers can re-board the boat safely thanks to an angled swim ladder and platform. Further contributing to their all-day comfort, each Dauntless features an enclosed compartment in the console with a portable head. For anglers, the Dauntless models deliver enhanced fishing capability, thanks to their open layout and an array of purposeful amenities and options. In the bow area, you’ll find well-placed rod holders and a forward fishbox with overboard drain. Midship, a versatile leaning post is available in several configurations, including a reversible pilot seat with a 32-gallon livewell. Aft, the stern deck is now flush, rather than stepped up, with port and starboard jump seats that offer ergonomic comfort and fold out of the way when not in use.

Additional features of the 220 Dauntless include: • Port and starboard aft casting platforms • Optional T-Top or fiberglass hardtop with rod holders and watersports tow point • Mercury power options up to a 250-hp XL V8 • Optional freshwater shower with 12-gallon tank • Forward bow sun pad with port and starboard folding backrests • Optional T-Top or fiberglass hardtop with rod holders and watersports tow point • Flush-mounted 35-gallon stern deck livewell • Full-beam aft casting platform • Mercury power options up to a 400-hp XXL L6 DTS Verado® • Optional freshwater shower with 12-gallon tank “For boaters seeking a higher-quality bay boat experience, the 220 and 250 Dauntless truly raise the bar,” said Stickler. “At every stage of development, our team sought to refine, enhance and expand what this versatile series can do. The resulting boats empower more activities with zero trade-offs, making them exciting new leaders in the day boat market.”

Local Sea Tow® Captain Recognized for Going Above and Beyond Capt. Colby Biondo honored with national award for rescuing a swimmer

LEARWATER, Fla. – December 21, 2020 – Sea Tow Services International – the nation’s leading on-water assistance provider – has recognized local Capt. Colby Biondo of Sea Tow Clearwater/Port Richey for efforts going above and beyond the call of duty to on the water earlier this year. Capt. Biondo received the Efforts Above and Beyond Award during Sea Tow’s annual meeting, which was held virtually this year due to COVID-19. The award was presented for actions Biondo took when he was notified of a swimmer in need of a rescue. The currents were raging as Capt. Biondo, an expert navigator, was on patrol around the Clearwater Pass. Water was jumping inside his boat as he steered along his usual path, but something was even more unusual than the strong spray of the Gulf. He saw a swimmer in trouble, struggling to catch their breath and fighting against the rough seas.

www.abelsmarine.com

Capt. Biondo saw the flashing of the Clearwater Police Department’s bright blue lights as they attempted to rescue the swimmer. The individual, who was clinging to the sharp, slippery rocks of the Clearwater Pass jetty, was in serious trouble. Members of the police department asked if Biondo could get close

enough to rescue the swimmer, who embraced the rocks with all of his might. It took a few attempts to maneuver his boat against the raging waters, but Capt. Biondo was able to expertly navigate towards and pull the swimmer aboard his distinctive yellow boat. The swimmer was safely brought back to shore where he received medical treatment. “We are grateful to have captains like Capt. Biondo as part of the Sea Tow network,” said Sea Tow Services International CEO Joseph Frohnhoefer III. “We are honored to present him with our company’s Efforts Above and Beyond Award for his expertise and response in this situation.” About Sea Tow Services International, Inc.

7 Things to Check Off Your Boating Bucket List in 2021 I

f there’s one thing the year 2020 has taught us all, it’s that we should take nothing for granted. The COVID-19 pandemic, at its brutal core, has been a relentless reminder that we should make the most of every day that we are alive—and living the fullest possible lives includes taking real steps toward fulfilling our biggest dreams. So, with 2021 now on the horizon, it’s a great time to think about actually doing something on your boating bucket list. No matter how long the pandemic continues, boating will remain a fun, outdoors, socially distanced activity—because hey, boating really is the perfect vacation on-demand. And lucky for us boaters, boating will always be something to look forward to—so get excited for the next year of boating that lies ahead with these fun ideas to check off your boating bucket list in 2021.

1. Cruise to a New Destination Cruising to a new destination doesn’t have to mean going far, or riding hard, or burning a ton of extra fuel. It can simply mean cruising to one more town beyond the last one you visited up the coastline, or heading one island farther along in your favorite archipelago. The idea is to enhance your confidence and improve your skills at the helm by pulling into a new anchorage or marina. Cruising to a new destination also lets you be in a new setting surrounded by different sights, smells and sounds than you’re used to—you can even turn your trip into a boat camping adventure. That’s an experience to treasure after the past year of living day after day on what often felt like a perpetual loop. Grab a cruising guide and a chart, find a location that interests you, and start researching the tides, inlets, marinas and

other salient details. Before you know it, you’ll be cruising someplace new—and thinking about where else you might want to cruise next.

2. Improve Your Docking Skills For most boaters, docking is the most anxiety-inducing part of the day. There’s no scientific proof to support this statement, but take an informal poll around the docks. You’ll see. Precious few people like to dock their boat, especially in close proximity to other boats with a crowd standing on the dock watching and shouting “helpful” advice (it’s no wonder docking mistakes made our list of the 12 Most Common Boating Mistakes & How to Avoid Them). One reason boaters get so stressed out about docking is that they haven’t taken the time to practice the skills that go along with the task. Docking is all about staying calm and making close-quarters maneuvers, things that can be practiced in open water where nobody is looking. Make it a priority to build that practice time into your schedule. Once you feel more comfortable envisioning the docking procedure in your mind, bring the boat to the actual dock and spend some time practicing there too. Eliminating your own nerves from the equation can go a long way toward removing anxiety from the docking experience. You can become the skipper who receives applause from the crowd after tying up and heading ashore for a frosty beverage. 3. Learn More About Your Electronics Are you thoroughly familiar with every button and feature on every piece of your marine electronics? If you answered yes, then you’re a rare and precious gem of a human being. Entire

towers of technology should be built and named in your honor. Most of us don’t even know how to work all the buttons on the TV remote control at home. Which is why there’s no shame in being ignorant about helm electronics features that you never use on the boat, or that you don’t even know are there. The existence of all those helm electronics features presents an opportunity to learn, and to improve your overall boating experience. Many manufacturers these days offer video tutorials online to show off the various functions and features that come with chartplotters, fish finders and more. Committing to learn a little more doesn’t necessarily mean flipping through a gargantuan manual, as in the days of old. And being familiar with all of the features at your disposal just may inspire you cruise in ways you didn’t even think were possible. 4. Take a Boating Class One ray of light that shone through the darkness of the COVID-19 pandemic was the speed with which everyone from boat dealers to boat show organizers enhanced their online offerings. The folks who create boatereducation courses are no different; they had some online offerings prior to the pandemic, but now, there’s a bounty of knowledge awaiting boaters of all skill levels at the click of a mouse. If you already know the basics of boating, that’s great. Organizations including the United States Power Squadrons and BoatUS offer all kinds of upper-level options for folks with bucket list dreams of learning a whole lot more. There are seminars about cruise planning, weather, marine electrical systems, anchoring, tying knots and all kinds of other boating specifics. What better time than the

present to take a deep dive into a part of the boating world that you’ve always wished you knew more about?

5. Improve Your Maintenance Skills When thinking about the courses you might take this year, consider putting boat, engine, and trailer maintenance the list. Let’s take your boat’s engine for example. Sure, you probably know the basics of how your boat’s engine works, but wouldn’t it be nice to feel confident that if you had a breakdown away from the dock, you’d be able to fix it instead of calling for a tow back to the marina? And think of all the money you might save on shoreside repairs if you could learn to do a few of the lower-level tasks yourself. Engine maintenance courses cover everything from the basics of engine parts to diagnosing problems with them. While modern engines with computerized systems will often require a mechanic, there still are plenty of things that boat owners can learn to fix themselves. And, most of these courses help boat owners understand when it really is time to call in some professional help, a lesson that can save a lot of boating time and aggravation in the future. 6. Teach Your Significant Other How to Skipper For decades, spouses have complained that they don’t like boating as much as their partners do. The scenario is most often a husband who always takes the helm, and a wife who goes along for whatever ride he wants, often feeling silently terrified that if something went wrong, she wouldn’t know what to do to help or get the boat back home safely. The Cruising Club of America came up

with a course called “Suddenly Alone” that alleviated a lot of those spouses’ fears. Today, that course has evolved into a program called Safety for Cruising Couples.It’s designed to ensure that everyone on the boat knows what to do in case of an emergency, from taking command of the boat to calling for help on the VHF radio. Having this knowledge helps everyone to feel more comfortable on board—and makes it far more likely that everyone will want to keep heading out on the boat together (also consider planning a romantic date night onboard to celebrate). 7. Plan the Ultimate Boating Vacation of a Lifetime No boating bucket list would be complete without a suggestion to plan the cruise of a lifetime. Whether it’s heading from New England to Florida, or from Florida to the Bahamas and beyond, or from the Pacific Northwest to Alaska, or around America’s Great Loop of rivers, gulfs and oceans, a cruise of a lifetime usually takes months to years of planning. Non-profit organizations like the Salty Dawg Sailing Association organize rallies to destinations including the Caribbean that let boaters cruise on their own boats, but with a group, to get a feel for the types of longer itineraries that might be part of a bucket list cruise. America’s Great Loop Cruisers’ Association is the place to make online friends if you’re thinking about a Great Loop itinerary. Want to cruise somewhere else? Do a little searching online, and you’ll absolutely find a group of like-minded boaters who are planning bucket list itineraries similar to the ones of your dreams.

3 January 2021 / THE Florida MARINER #923

Captain’sCorner with Captain Kyle Messier Sarasota, FL Fly Fishing Forecast for January 2021 You may find reds and big trout concentrated in potholes on low tides in January. Action with trout, blues, Spanish mackerel, pompano and more on deep grass flats can be good depending on conditions. There should also be good catch and release snook action in rivers, creeks and canals this month, although fishing docks for snook and other species is also a good option. It may be worth checking the coastal gulf for tripletail, false albacore (little tunny) and more if it’s warm. Snook, reds and spotted seatrout remain closed to harvest on the west coast of Florida. The Florida FWC has extended a temporary modification of regulations for reds, snook and trout, in the areas affected by the recent red tide. The area extends from Pasco County, south to the south bank of Gordon Pass in Collier County. Reds, snook and trout are catch and release only in that zone until May 31, 2021. Full details including exact boundaries can be found at https://myfwc.com/news/all-news/ extended-cnr-220/. Use tackle heavy enough to catch and release snook quickly with as little handling as possible. Since snook are very temperature sensitive, I won’t target them if the water temperature dips below 60 degrees. However, fishing lighted docks in the ICW at night with flies can be very good in January. I often also find big bluefish mixed with snook, particularly around bridges in January. Small white flies, like my Grassett Snook Minnow, Gurglers and shrimp fly patterns fished on intermediate sink tip fly lines should work well Fish peak tidal

flows for the best action. You should also find snook in rivers, creeks and canals this month. Fish deeper water in outside bends to locate snook where you may catch them with wide profile flies fished on sink tip fly lines. You may also find reds, tarpon and even largemouth bass in the same areas depending on salinity. Reds should be a good option this month. You’ll find them concentrated in potholes when the tide is low. Fly anglers should score with lightly weighted flies fished on a 10’-12’ leader with a floating fly line. Reds feed on crustaceans this time of the year, so crab and shrimp fly patterns should work well. They may tail on shallow grass flats of Gasparilla Sound, and lower Tampa Bay when the tide is low. You’ll need flies with weed guards when targeting tailing reds since they are usually in thick turtle grass. You may also find reds around docks, along with snook, sheepshead, flounder and more. Little Sarasota Bay has numerous oyster bars and docks that often hold reds, snook and sheepshead in January. Use floating fly lines and lightly weighted flies to fish around oyster bars and sink tip fly lines to fish docks. You’re likely to find big trout in many of the same areas that you find reds. The same flies and techniques that are used for reds will also work for big trout. You may also find trout on deep grass flats in January along with blues, Spanish mackerel, pompano, flounder and more depending on conditions. I like to drift and cast ahead of my drift with Ultra Hair Clouser or my Grassett Deep Flats Bunny flies fished on an intermediate sink tip fly line. Since trout can sometimes

with Captain Rick Grassett Winter Fishing the Nature Coast Get ready for some incredible winter fishing here along the Nature Coast! Here’s what to expect: While the weather might be frightful throughout the country, the local waters throughout the Nature Coast of Florida still have plenty of great winter fishing opportunities to offer cold tolerant anglers. Thanks to diverse habitats and seven spring fed rivers that stream 72° water into the Gulf, anglers can find consistent light tackle fishing action for a variety of both fresh and saltwater species no matter the wind or weather conditions. Ready to make the trip to Crystal River or Homosassa to catch some fish? Here’s what you can expect from our winter fishery here in Florida. WHAT’S BITING DURING THE WINTER IN FLORIDA • Largemouth Bass • Tarpon • Redfish • Permit • Snook • Speckled Trout • Pompano • Sheepshead • Mangrove snapper • Black drum • Ladyfish • Jack Crevalle When the conditions are right, anglers can expect to target

numerous inshore species during a day of fishing. Because most species seek out similar structures or gravitate towards warmer water areas this time of year it’s not uncommon to catch multiple species while fishing the same dock, oyster bar, or mangrove laden shoreline. Large docks and riprap seawalls are perfect structures for targeting river species such as Snook, Redfish, Tarpon and even Bass. Using live and artificial baits that mimic small baitfish is key when targeting multiple species scenarios this winter. Live pinfish and mullet are great choices for those choosing to use live baits, while topwater lures and twitch baits such as Rapala Skitterwalks and Mirrolure Mirrodines can be equally as productive. TIPS FOR WINTER FISHING IN FLORIDA For winter fishing, anglers need to get accustomed to hitting the snooze button before a day out on the water, as it’s better to start fishing later in the day. Fish often become more active when the sun has had time to warm the water and for those anglers venturing into the Gulf, timing your day around the outgoing tide will ensure that you’re fishing the warmest water temperatures of the day as 72° water will be pouring out into the Gulf. If targeting areas of extreme shallow water (6” or less) is out of the question, the next best area of warmer water can often be found in river channels or deep holes. Deep water is less likely to experience the

West Florida Southwest Coast hold very tight to a particular spot or area, try to cover as much water as possible to find them. Once you’ve located fish you can shorten your drift or anchor on them. My favorite deep grass flats all have a good mix of grass and sand with a strong tidal flow. Even though there may not be much happening in the coastal gulf this month in the way of sight fishing it may be worth a look when it is warm. Migratory species such as king and Spanish mackerel, cobia and tripletail probably have moved further south, however they could reappear during warm ups. Also look for false albacore (little tunny) when it’s warm since they may move from offshore to inshore depending on where baitfish are located. January can be one of the toughest months of the year to fish. However if you are able to choose when to fish based on tides and weather, it can be good. Action is usually good as weather fronts approach. Following fronts, fishing may be tough for a couple of days so afternoons may fish better then. I’ll let the stage of the tide determine where to look for fish. When the tide is low, look for reds tailing on shallow grass or reds, trout and more in potholes or around docks. Look for reds or big trout cruising on shallow grass flats on sunny afternoons when the tide is high. Our natural resources are under constant pressure from red tides fueled by agricultural, industrial and residential runoff, freezes, increasing fishing pressure and habitat loss and degradation, please limit your kill, don’t kill your limit!

temperature swings that make fish less motivated to feed. Both deep holes and channels are likely to contain fish seeking a more regulated water temperature and presenting baits such as shrimp on a jighead close to the bottom and retrieving them slowly will often provide a hungry fish with enough time to decide to feed. Because of these slower than normal patterns, anglers will need to have plenty of patience. Fish may watch a bait for a while before deciding to exert the energy to feed. Chumming tactics can often be used to try and jump start a feeding pattern so stocking up on additional shrimp or pinfish could pay dividends when targeting cold sensitive fish. The Nature Coast of Florida is lucky to have plenty of great fishing into the winter. You can expect to stay comfortable and have an active day if you follow these tips for winter fishing in Florida.

Sailfish season has gotten off to one of the best starts I have seen in the past 10 years. Multiple shots at sailfish are occurring on a daily basis. November usually starts our sailfish season and catching 1 or 2 fish on average is considered good. This year October was the start and for the most part we have had 3 to 8 shots a day practically every trip. This bodes well for December and real cold fronts start rolling through. Earlier in November we saw and caught a lot of sailfish in shallow. These fish were feeding on ballyhoo and sometimes were pretty picky about eating anything else. As November was ending, the sailfish are now back on the edge and kite fishing is highly effective. Besides sailfish, there has also been a steady pick at gaffer size mahis. The mahis are being caught on the kite baits as well. The big schools of squid have moved in and you would think that is a good thing and it is for swordfish, but when a squid latches onto your bait, all it does is creates the bait to spin and look unnatural. If you get a squid on your bait, it usually

SPORTFISHING REPORT: HOLIDAY SAILFISH! We’ve enjoyed a few cold fronts since November, with more on the way as we come up on January – for us in South Florida, a “cold front” is when the mercury dips below 60 degrees – and they have triggered the winter bite. The Sailfish are in town and tearing up the baits. Our worldfamous Sailfishing is what built our offshore winter fishery. Our clients have been putting up big numbers of Sailfish catches and releases as our Fleet focuses almost exclusively on fishing live baits underneath our fishing kites.

When there is not enough wind to keep the kites in the air, we can also slow troll live baits such as Ballyhoo and Goggle Eyes as well as troll our specially-crafted mullet strips.

Next week I will be heading across to Bimini to do some high speed trolling for wahoo. It takes a bit more preparation these days to go to the Bahamas. You need a Covid test done within 5 days of travel and need to apply for a health visa from the Bahamas as well. That being said, there are less boats going over which would mean there are more Wahoo to be caught. Hopefully we will get them next week.

with Captain David Ide

Kite-fishing is a truly amazing and engaging experience as you get to see the Sailfish AS THEY EAT the bait. Nothing gets the blood pumping like watching a double- or tripleheader Sailfish bite up on the surface. We can fish up to three (3) live baits per kite, with at least two (2) kites up at any one time. We’re fishing between 90 and 250 feet of water. We’ve also had luck shallower than 90 feet as we watch Sailfish cartwheel in the midst of Ballyhoo schools up on the reef.

“Where Caring is the Key”

means no sword bites. Luckily either there are a ton of swordfish here or the squid are starting to dissipate, but the swordfishing the past few days has been very good. We caught two swordfish on Saturday and a big swordfish on Sunday. The drops we made that didn’t produce a swordfish, did produce squid, so the squid are still here but the swords must be thick as well. Once the squid leave the daytime swordfishing will explode just like it did last year in December when the squid finally left. Our big swordfish on Sunday weighed in at 357.2 pounds on our new digital scale.

LATE-SEASON MAHI MAHI The Mahi Mahi have simply refuse to leave! Of course, the Mahi are welcome guests for as long as they care to wallop our baits. The Mahi have been eating nearly every and any bait that we put in front of them, from live kite baits to strip baits

and artificials. Join us to get in on this lateseason bounty. AMAZING LATE SEASON TUNAS TOO! We’re enjoying an amazing late-season push of Blackfin Tunas that are pounding our Mahi Mahi and Kingfish baits. Check out this postThanksgiving butterball! CHRISTMAS IN WAHOO-VILLE! The recent moon phases continue to provide a winter Wahoo bonanza! One of the fastest fish in the sea, Wahoos can melt drags and break hearts if you’re not ready for them. Fortunately, the Lady Pamela Sportfishing Team is ready, willing and able to tame these shiny, striped torpedoes. The December Wahoos have been crushing our strip baits trolled below the surface on planer along with as Islanders with ballyhoo in both the blue/white and red/black color combinations. We’ve been finding the Wahoos in between 150 and 350 feet of water. We’ve also hooked a few Wahoo fishing live bullet Bonitos over the wrecks for Amberjacks and Black Grouper. Few things make an angler weak in the knees like watching a Wahoo empty your spool on one of their patented runs! After a long fight and bringing a Wahoo aboard, you’ll enjoy the fact that you get to invite a tasty fish home for dinner. KINGFISH & BARRACUDA SMOKING DRAGS TOO King Mackerel (‘Kingfish”) and Barracuda continue to sharpen their teeth up on the reef. Like Sailfish, Kingfish absolutely love to crush a live bait suspended beneath our kites. Kingfish have teeth that are more like

Marathon/Florida Keys Southeast Coast surgical scalpels and they fight hard, which is why we call them “smokers” – they will smoke your drag on scorching runs once they’re hooked. We have to fish wire leaders to make sure we don’t miss these acrobatic bites. The Barracuda are lurking on the reefs to ambush the unsuspecting baits as well. THE SHARKS ARE ON THE PROWL We continue to catch some acrobatic Blacktip ad Spinner Sharks as the winter feeding pattern sets in. We’re also getting shots at Hammerheads and Tiger Sharks. You had better “eat your Wheaties” because these sea monsters don’t give up when hooked. DRIFT FISHING REPORT: LOIS ANN IS ON THE BITE On the Lois Ann, our daily trips – 3 each day – are producing Kingfish, Tuna, Bonito, Barracuda, Amberjack, Sailfish and a host of Snapper and Grouper. Our nighttime trips have been producing huge numbers of Yellowtail Snappers. Keep in mind that the Lois Ann is limited to a certain number of anglers per trip due to CDC guidelines. This is great news for YOU as you have plenty of room to fish multiple lines! Book a trip NOW to get in on this amazing action after the sun goes down. Tight Lines and Happy Holidays!

The Vessel Safety Check (VSC) is performed at your boat, whether in a slip, at the launch ramp, or in your driveway, by a certified Vessel Examiner, at a mutually-convenient time. It usually takes 20-45 minutes, depending on the size of your boat. After successful inspection you are awarded a vessel safety check sticker which is affixed to your vessel near your state registration sticker.

The course works well with any brand of marine GPS or chartplotter. MARINE ENVIRONMENT AND ALCOHOL CLEARWATER - Most people are not aware of the very real, life threatening dangers associated with consuming alcohol and boating. Add boating stressors to those usual factors resulting from drinking alcohol, and a truly perilous condition is present. Drinking alcohol produces certain physiological responses that directly affect safety and well-being. Judgement and skills deteriorate, affecting peripheral vision, balance, and ability to process information. Physical performance and reaction time are reduced. Alcohol reduces depth perception, night vision, focus, and the ability to distinguish colors, especially red and green. Alcohol consumption can result in inner ear disturbance, which can make it impossible for a

person suddenly immersed in water to distinguish up from down. Alcohol creates a sense of warmth and may prevent a person in cold water from getting out before hypothermia sets in. The United States Coast Guard Auxiliary offers the acclaimed boating safety course, About Boating Safely. Classes begin the second weekend of every month. Please contact Leslie Long, Clearwater 11-1 Flotilla Commander at (727) 469-8895, auxboatingclass@gmail.com SARASOTA FLOTILLA 82 OF THE USCG AUXILIARY Florida law requires that any person born on or after Jan. 1, 1988, may not operate a vessel powered by a motor of 10 horsepower or greater unless such person has in his or her possession, aboard the vessel, photographic identification, a Florida boater safety identification card (or any other state’s boating card), and the registration for their vessel. Regarding the above law, which has been in effect for over a year, Flotilla 82 of the USCG Auxiliary, based in Sarasota, Florida (at Mote Marine) offers a 1-day course held on the last Saturday of each month. It starts at 9:00 am and completes at 5:00 pm. The course includes the USCG exam which, if passed, results in a Florida lifetime boating card/license.
