New Beneteau FIRST 44 Racer-Cruiser Royalty “FIRST was born forty-five years ago with the launch of the legendary FIRST 30, and we doubly celebrate the occasion this year with the announcement of the FIRST 36 in January and the arrival of the FIRST 44 today, finalizing the renewal of a standard-bearing range now entirely redrawn and complete”, says Yann Masselot, BENETEAU General Manager. “ The boat pencils itself in among such great 40’ to 45’ BENETEAU yachts as the FIRST 40.7, the 45f5 or more recently the FIRST 40 and 45”.

Today, the FIRST 44 embodies a natural link between the FIRST 36 and FIRST 53, equally refining and redefining performance, elegance and comfort - a new Biscontini/ Argento creation that truly denies itself nothing. She’s a lovely sailing yacht with a remarkable design, offering through her architecture and build quality an experience underway that is simply second to none.

THE MAIN POINTS TO REMEMBER The FIRST 44 is presented in two main setups, FIRST 44 and FIRST 44 PERFORMANCE, with a different deck plan and options for keels and masts.

She offers a streamlined interior layout that is modern and luminous, with a blend of white lacquered

surfaces, moulded woods and tasteful upholsteries.

She is crafted and finished in a dedicated workshop that delivers the full scope of BENETEAU expertise.

With the new FIRST 44, BENETEAU draws to the noblest expression of the term “racer/cruiser”: an elegant and comfortable yacht that provides unequaled pleasure under sail.

In keeping with the scientific approach honed with his work on America Cup racers, Roberto Biscontini went through several revisions and improvements to finally deliver a powerful and well-balanced hull, which is coupled with an ample sailplan to deliver spend and vivacity in any conditions.

A DUAL DESIGN The FIRST 44 was imagined with two deck layouts to satisfy a greater variety of wishes and needs.

The FIRST 44 version distinguishes itself with a convivial and comfortable cockpit, wherein wide side-decks converge towards a lovely cockpit table. Four winches, a fixed centerline block for the mainsheet and a mast that is set further aft all maximize the potential of her modern sailplan, defined by a slender mainsail and generously sized foresails.

With the intention of making serious performance even more

accessible, BENETEAU used the experience acquired with the Figaro 2 and ballast systems to deliver this technology to FIRST 44 owners; twin 80-gallon ballast tanks, activated electronically from the helm stations, offer the possibility of reaching the boat’s full potential with reduced crew.

On the FIRST 44 PERFORMANCE, deck ergonomics were studied and developed with fully crewed regattas in mind. Equipment and systems are totally geared towards racing, among which should be mentioned the foam non-skid surfaces that replace the teak on the cockpit sole, six wellplaced winches and a conventional mainsail traveller. The rigging and sail setup include a 4 ½’ bowsprit, a hydraulic backstay, a powerful inhauler system and a performance keel/mast combo that will satisfy the most demanding captains and crews.

A SUPERIOR STANDARD OF ACCOMMODATIONS The FIRST 44 is infused with Lorenzo Argento’s style, a distinctive blend of elegance and modernity.

Her three-cabin, two-head layout is an assemblage of quality materials interwoven into a masterful finish. In the salon the six-seater transversal table lays opposite of the couch and nav station; its positioning in relation

to the mast eases the movement between galley and master stateroom, thereby accentuating the feeling of space.

This arrangement is enhanced by superb craftsmanship, a refined combination of white lacquered surfaces, moulded woods, touches of indirect lighting and a large selection of luxurious upholsteries.

EXPERTISE AS A CORNERSTONE Assembled in a specially dedicated workshop, the FIRST 44 takes full benefit of BENETEAU’s expertise and the knowledge of the industry’s sharpest minds. Subjected by their owners to the rigors of the offshore racing, FIRSTs are always the result of a rigorous development and perfection process. Engineering

for the FIRST 44 was entrusted to the Mer Forte firm, well known for its work on high-end blue-water race boats, including the celebrated Figaro BENETEAU 3.

The result is a “full infusion” yacht on which the distribution of weight is a key factor. The FIRST 44 PERFORMANCE is 1100 pounds lighter than the FIRST 44 and its deck layout is the result of a multidisciplinary collaboration involving Roberto Biscontini, Lorenzo Argento, Hughes Destremau (North Sails), Michel Sacaze (Harken), William Thomas (Sparcraft) and the BENETEAU project team.

The FIRST 44 will be actively tested this summer before her world premiere at the 2022 Yachting Festival de Cannes.

Sea Tow® Shares Top Ten Tips to Consider Before Leaving the Dock Boating Industry Sees a Record Number of Boat Sales and Boaters on the Water

S

outhold, NY – April 27, 2022 – The boating industry has seen a record number of new and existing boaters on the water. According to the National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA), the leading trade association representing North American recreational boat, marine engine and accessory manufacturers, 2022 is expected to be another strong year for new boat sales, which are projected to surpass 2021 totals by as much as three percent.

Sea Tow anticipates another busy summer on the water in 2022. In an effort to ensure that a great day on the water is experienced by the boating community it serves, Sea Tow shares its top ten tips boaters should consider before heading out on the water.

• Have a checklist. Before leaving the dock, have a pre-departure checklist to review all critical systems (i.e.: engine check, battery levels, fuel levels, etc.).

• Don’t solely rely on the fuel gauge. Boaters should keep a fuel log so they know how much fuel their boat uses, when they last filled up, how many hours the boat has run, and how much fuel is left.

• Follow the rule of thirds. Be sure to have enough fuel to allow for: 1/3 of fuel to head to the destination, 1/3 of fuel to head back to the dock and 1/3 of fuel “just in case.”

• Check the charts. Review the intended voyage plan and be aware of sandbars, shallow areas, channel and buoy locations, etc. so the boat doesn’t run aground, and there are no surprises.

• Carry extra lines and fenders.

Both are needed when rafting up with friends or when tying up at a waterfront restaurant.

• Safety first. Boaters should inform passengers of their boat safety rules such as wear life jackets are located and that they must remain seated while the boat is underway. This helps to avoid distracting the captain during the voyage.

• Keep two anchors aboard. You never know when one might get away, so always have a spare and make sure it’s the appropriate size for the boat and where the hook will be dropped.

• When in doubt, slow down or stop. Trying to figure things out while underway can often lead to hitting something or running aground.

• Be courteous. Boaters should always watch their wake and wave when fellow boaters pass by. It’s one big community on the water, so be a good neighbor and be friendly!

• Always have a backup plan.

It’s often said “when the unexpected happens” because no one ever plans on needing help on the water. Having an

Who’sWho

on-water assistance membership with Sea Tow is guaranteed peace-of-mind that if anything happens out on the water, someone is standing by to come help.

“At Sea Tow, we are big advocates of getting out on the water and having fun, and we want boaters – new and salty – to do so confidently,” said Sea Tow President, Kristen Frohnhoefer.

With a Sea Tow membership, boaters pay one annual rate and receive the most comprehensive member benefits available in the market. Sea Tow has boats on the water to service with 24/7 dispatch. Sea Tow offers its members free boat towing in their home area, unlimited dock-to-dock towing on all boats, alternatives to towing such as battery jumps and fuel delivery, and nationwide offshore coverage, along with additional paid on-water services such as boat salvage and recovery, vessel for hire, and environmental response.

Mercury Racing to Sponsor Formula One Powerboat Racing Series Mercury Racing 360 APX Outboard to Power Two-Seat Ride Experience Boat

F

OND DU LAC, Wis. (April 25, 2022) – Mercury Racing has entered a two-year sponsorship program with the Formula One Powerboat Championship series.

The agreement is for the 2022 and 2023 racing seasons and names Mercury Racing the Official Maine Engine and Drive Sponsor. For the next two seasons a Mercury Racing 360 APX outboard will power the Formula One Race Ride Experience, a two-seat tunnel boat available for high-speed media and VIP demonstration laps at each race venue.

“Mercury Racing is excited to be partnering with the Formula One Powerboat Championship Series,” said Mercury Racing General Manager Stuart Halley. “Our support of the premier in-shore circuit-racing series in North America reflects a renewed focus on outboard circuit racing powered by the Mercury Racing Apex Series competition outboard motors. Mercury Racing also appreciates that Formula One and the powerboat racing community is embracing a shift

10

to more-sustainable and modern engines.”

The five event 2022 Formula One Powerboat Championship Series begins April 29-May 1 on the Neches River at the Port Neches Riverfest on the Texas Gulf Coast.

The season continues with events in Pittsburgh, Pa. (July 28-31), OPC Nationals at Springfield, Ohio (Aug. 26-28), Highlands, Texas (Sept.

30-Oct. 2) and the Havasu Classic Championships at Lake Havasu, Ariz. (Oct. 14-16). Mercury Racing will have a presence throughout each race weekend.

“Mercury Racing outboards have powered the top classes on the Formula One series, and we welcome its rededication to outboard competition with both this sponsorship and the development of the Apex Series, a new generation of competition outboard power,” said Tim Seebold, Managing Director of the Formula One Powerboat Championship.

Each event will feature multiple

THE Florida MARINER #958 / 8 May 2022

boat classes, including the top Formula One tunnel boat class.

The new Mercury Racing 200 APX competition outboard is eligible for Formula One in 2022. Several top teams are expected to race with the 200 APX motor, a 3.4-liter V6 four-stroke model. Rated at more than 200 horsepower, the 200 APX outboard offers racers a very durable powerhead and the latest in four-stroke engine technology, while reducing exhaust emissions by 90 percent compared to the Mercury Racing 200 SX two-stroke

outboard currently in use in these classes, which is no longer in production.

The Mercury Racing 360 APX, a new 4.6-liter V8 competition outboard, has been approved for the UIM F1H2O World Championship, the flagship international series of single-seater inshore circuit powerboat racing. It will also offer guests a thrilling ride in the Formula One Race Ride Experience two-seat boat. At most venues those rides will be available for fans purchasing

a VIP ticket package. The boat will be equipped with video cameras to capture each guest experience.

The Ride Experience boat will also be used as a pace boat during competition.

Simple Boat Snacks That Will Impress Your Guests

G

athering with loved ones over delicious food is the spice of life, especially when those gatherings are on the water! There is no reason food on a boat can’t be just as amazing as what you might serve when entertaining guests at home. The spread doesn’t have to be complicated but with a little preparation you can turn the ordinary into extraordinary.

Even on a boat presentation is key. Why serve fruit in a plastic bag when you can present the season’s freshest options on a skewer? The perfect boat snacks are yummy, easy to eat and require little cleanup.Boatwings Check out our favorites below: You can never go wrong with a beautiful charcuterie plate packed with hard cheeses, nuts, cured meats, dried fruits and dates. It’s quick and easy, and generally you can use what you have on hand, which makes it perfect for an impromptu sunset cruise. The platter should be covered, easy to transport and fit in a cooler.

Skewers ought to be your new best friend in the galley – a crowd pleaser for both kids and adults! It’s a fantastic way to offer variety without involving a jumble of containers, plates, and utensils.Skewers

Fruit Skewers - Stack seasonal fruits and include something exotic in the mix like golden gooseberries, kiwi, or starfruit to make it fancy.

Caprese skewers - Cherry tomatoes, mozzarella balls and fresh basil leaf drizzled with balsamic and coarse sea salt.

Veggie tray - Arrange veggies such as broccoli, carrots, cauliflower, peppers, and zucchini on a plate and include ranch dressing for dipping.

Another tasty treat is plain chicken wings served with veggies and ranch or blue cheese dipping sauce. To avoid stains on the boat, do not coat the wings in red or sticky sauces.

Wraps of any kind are easy to serve and a great snack when you are under way.

Try a lettuce wrap with walnut, raisin, and chicken salad.

Tip: Use disposable foil tins. They are easy to stack, keep food cool, and cleanup is a snap.

Bon appetite! #SeeYouOutHere, Captain Jana and Cindy

several classic Sperry styles as well as newly developed ones.

Price points range from $54.99 - $119.99 --- ABOUT SPERRY --Sperry was founded in 1935 by avid sailor, inventor and intrepid explorer Paul Sperry. The brand is now fully rooted in the history of American style and continues to craft the tools for life’s memorable experiences on, off and by the water.

Captain’sCorner with Captain Ray Markham Low humidity and sunny days this week might taper off as we get toward the weekend with some gusty winds and a slight chance of thunderstorms. File a float plan if being on the water is your plan for the weekend.

OFFSHORE/ NEARSHORE - Finding that weather window to get on the water seems to be the order of most days lately. When anglers did get the opportunity they found a variety of fish and some fast action around last Saturday’s full moon. As we moved through the week, sunny days with some breezy conditions kicked up seas. Finding clean water was and nearly always is the key to finding a good bite offshore and in nearshore waters.

Dropping a live pinfish down in 80-to 100-feet of water might produce some red grouper for you right now, but larger reds will be found deeper for the most part. Cut squid or threadfin herring will also do the job.

Good action with mangrove snapper and lane snapper has been seen for anglers working depths starting at 90-feet and beyond. Anglers continue to catch hogfish from 50-feet and beyond.

Trolling for Spanish mackerel and kingfish from the beaches and beyond has been easy on the calmer days. Slow trolling live blue runners will get some of the largest kingfish while trolling spoons behind #2 planers and flatlines will produce well for Spanish.

Larger Drone spoons are the ticket for kings. Good numbers of mackerel are being caught with sizes averaging 2-to 4-pounds.

Kings will be where you find them, and that’s typically around bait schools.

Most of the schools of bait are found either over hard bottom or around deeper water wrecks. Some traditional areas are producing some kings. The

Blind Pass Drop, Sand Key Hard Bottom, and Egmont Key Ship’s Channel are some of the most consistent areas for catching kings.

An occasional cobia is being caught around channel markers and buoys heading out past Egmont Key. Look for tripletail in these locations as well as whatever stone crap trap floats that you see in the gulf.

Medium live shrimp are tops for trips. Live pinfish, blue crabs, or a soft plastic eel on a jig will produce cobia. Some of these fish can be up to about 80-pounds so be sure to have the proper tackle to handle these beasts.

Most will range in the 20-to 40-pound classes though.

INSHORE - Last weekend’s full moon produced some good moving water that produced a good afternoon bite for snook anglers up and down the coast. Beach anglers were finding snook in the surf and close to passes, while flats anglers poked around barrier islands and mangrove points looking for snook that were ambushing their prey. Live pinfish, shrimp, and whitebait all produced some good snook action. MirrOlure MirrOdines like the 17MR18 and CAL 5.5 jerk baits were very productive around creek and river mouths. Good redfish action continues in much of the eastern side of Tampa Bay. Both live and cut baits are producing well.

Trout fishing in the ICW from Indian Rocks to Anclote Key produced good results for anglers using live shrimp under popping corks or DOA Deadly Combos with either a night glow shrimp or a DOA TerrorEyz suspended under the cork.

Flounder in scattered locations are showing up along the coast with several reports of a few large ones around 18-inches.

with Captain Dave Hansen Steve and Renee Carter and their daughters, Lilly and Maggie, fished southern Estero Bay’s backwaters with me on Friday morning, 4/1.

Using live shrimp, the family caught seven mangrove snapper including two keepers, and a 14-inch whiting.

They released a dozen sheepshead shorts, six small mutton snappers, a 17-inch sailcat, and an 18-inch bonnethead shark.

Bob O’Neill and his son-in-law, Carl fished southern Estero Bay’s backwaters Wednesday morning, 4/13. Using live shrimp, the guys caught five sheepshead, including two keepers, along with three sand bream, including two keepers. They released a 20-inch gaftop sailcat, six mangrove snapper shorts, a stingray, and a crevalle jack.

I fished a catch-and-release trip in southern Estero Bay with Carl Baker and his son, Ben, on Friday morning, 4/15. The guys used live shrimp to catch fifteen sheepshead, two sand bream, four mangrove snapper, a mutton snapper, a 20-inch gaftop sailcat, and 2-pound stingray.

Monday, 4/18, high winds and seas were predicted,

www.TheMariner.com

West Central Florida Southwest Coast A live shrimp on a jig head fished on the bottom will produce as good as any live bait.

Mud minnows are also good live baits when fished inside mangrove bays. Overall, it’s hard to beat bucktail jigs or a CAL jig with a shad tail rigged on a ¼ oz. jig head. For best results, fish the jig on the bottom. Short slow hops or sweeps with the rod tip down or to the side will keep the jig connected to the bottom to create a puff of sand. Some of the most productive areas will have good current, such as passes or areas between small mangrove islands where wind-driven currents push water through. Fish the changes. Changes in depth, bottom make-up, such as where grass meets sand, shell meets mud, and the like for the most consistent action.

FRESHWATER - Anglers are finding some better action with bass in area lakes and ponds lately using a variety of stick baits.

The Original Rapala made of balsa wood has always produced some good action. Where depths range from 5 to 10-feet with some structure, a number of square billed diving baits have worked very well by bumping the lure off the structure. Where schooling bass are found, look for crank baits such as the Rat ‘L Trap to be an excellent producer.

When the action slows in the heat of the day, flipping an 8-inch worm Texas rigged usually produces fish. ‘Til then…I’ll catch ya later!

but the timeline changed enough on that forecast to allow Corey Noltner, Jake Frye, Jake’s young son, Evan, and Evan’s grandpa, Rick, to fish offshore in spots ranging from 28 to 36 miles west of New Pass. It was choppy heading back in, but was calm during our fishing time.

The guys used squid and cut-bait for a variety of catches. They boxed fifteen keeper lane snapper to 14 inches and fifteen grunts that were all around 14 inches long. They caught nine yellowtail snapper, but only one of those was keeper size, at 13 inches. They released a halfdozen mangrove snapper shorts, along with twenty-five red grouper shorts to 19 inches.

Tarpon action has kept anglers bowing to the king. Live baits and Rapala twitchin rap provokes strikes. Tarpon can be seen rolling allowing anglers to cast in there vicinity. Fly anglers can enjoy great surface strikes as tarpon inhale the bait. Tarpon are ranging in size from 10 to 50 pounds.

Jacks are always an angler favorite, they pull hard and get the drag screaming. Great for those who like non stop action jacks are willing to bite DOA C.A.L. 3” shad tail and any live bait.

Freshwater bite has been great for the peacock bass working sea walls and docks with

small Rapala twitchin raps and live shiners. The hotter the better for these exotic beauties. The clown knife fish are also putting a bend in the rod for anglers. These creatures can found near bridge piles and along drop offs. DOA terror Eyz and live baits great baits to getcthe drag screaming.

April has come to end which means we are inching closer to summer time fishing. Fun in the sun and drag screaming action for snook, tarpon, jacks, sharks and many other species.

Snook fishing has been great along sea walls using live bait and artificial lures like flies and DOA C.A.L. 3” shad tail. The snook are also being found near docks and mangrove shorelines chasing baits schools.

The snook bite will get really good along deep channels and inlets by mid May. Tarpon

continue to provide acrobatic jumps and drag screaming runs for anglers. The tarpon are being found near drop offs and mangrove edges. Live bait, DOA

Southeast Coast Terror Eyz and fly fishing great ways to get hooked up. Tarpon will start gathering on the beaches soon following bait schools as they migrate south.

Jacks, sharks, snapper, drum and other species add to the mix for anglers while enjoying our beautiful waters.

Peacock bass and clown knife are providing steady action for anglers using live bait. Artificial lures enthusiasts, DOA C.A.L 3” shad tail rigged weedless or on a jig head provokes strikes. Canals are holding the peacocks the channels are great areas to find the clowns.

Well that is the fishing report for the past week hope you all enjoyed. Remember you can’t catch them from the couch so get out there and get hooked up!

Patches and Reefs Producing

been looking promising.

For the majority of the month, we saw a bunch of action on the patches and reefs. Mackerels, sharks, mutton snappers, lanes, and yellowtail were the majority of the fish produced.

The new addition of the 22 Pathfinder has been a hit! With everything getting more costly it has become a favorite for the smaller groups of anglers. Tarpon and sharks have been requested and the crew and boat has been producing! Veteran anglers to the newbies have been enjoying the back country with calm seas big fish and crystal clear waters that makes the lower keys so special.

Again, we have seen a very unpredictable weather pattern.

The days we didn’t have a north wind the tarpon were found in the harbor and channels close to Key West. Which was a big plus being so early in the season! The offshore has stayed hit and miss. One trip is tough, and we make a decision to change things up to get the rods bending. Other days it is good with lots of action with black fin tuna occasional Mahi and a school of Bonita that seem to be endless.

Having to deal with wind direction changing and higher winds we have ventured more into areas that have been less traveled, “for myself at least”. The gulf is a great alternative when key west gets hit with strong south winds.

The flats and mangrove islands that make up the Florida Keys act as a natural break wall. Big jacks’ school up this time a year to offer a strong fight! Lanes and yellowtails have been plentiful and to many catch and release groupers have been hooked!

Grouper season started May 1 for state and federal Atlantic which is always a great time! May should be producing sailfish, tuna, and Mahi offshore.

www.TheMariner.com A VESSEL SAFETY CHECK - STUART - Despite numerous COVID-19 restrictions, more and more boaters are taking to the water to alleviate at-home boredom while taking advantage of the open-air benefits and more pandemic-free aspects of recreational boating. But if you haven’t been out boating in a while, are your vessel’s lights operating properly? Do you have a sufficient number of life jackets for the number of passengers aboard? Is your engine’s ventilation system up to par? To get you started on a new year boating adventure, now may be a perfect time to consider getting a 2022 Vessel Safety Check (VSC) offered by certified VSC examiners from the St. Lucie River Power Squadron, also known as America’s Boating Club of Martin County. These trained VSC examiners from the local squadron will point out safety features such as minimum requirements required by the U.S. Coast Guard, examine fundamental mechanical aspects of your vessel, and answer questions how you can have more fun safely on the water. These are just a few of the many discussion points covered in this voluntary examination. As an added plus, Vessel Safety Checks are free to boat owners. And if you don’t “pass muster” with the thorough examination, the summary report is yours and yours alone. No record of any possible deficiencies will be reported to the USCG, state agency or any other authority. Want to know more about this complimentary Vessel Safety Check program? Contact Peter Burns at (772) 486-2684 or burnspet@aol.com. St. Lucie River Power Squadron, one of more than 300 squadrons nationwide, also offers safe boating classes to the public. Check on their website, www.slrps.org, when classes will resume. Information about the parent organization is available at www.usps.org.

No citations are issued, and the results of the safety check are not reported to any enforcement agency, but a decal is awarded to display when the vessel has passed the examination. 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 mutuallyconvenient 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. Call 727-898-1324 to find an inspector or go to www.cgaux.org/vsc/.

U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary Local flotillas offer a variety of safety classes, including basic/introductory boating courses and safety courses, navigation, sailing and personal watercraft safety, among others.

U.S. Sailing Programs offer instruction in small and large sailboats, windsurfers, and powerboats. All levels of instruction are available around the country for beginner to advanced skills.

Information on courses and instruction is available on the web.

United States Power Squadron "America's Boating Course 3rd Edition" the most comprehensive boating safety course available. It includes a course book, a narrated student CD and a digital charting DVD. ABC 3 is available as a classroom, home study or online course.

American Canoe Association Comprehensive resource to find skills courses, assessments, and instructor certification courses for kayak, canoe, raft, safety & rescue, and adaptive paddling.

CLEARWATER COAST GUARD AUXILIARY TEACHING BOATING SAFETY CLASSES ONLINE - 2022 - A New Way to Learn … A New Crop of Safe Boaters. With the advent of COVID-19, the Coast Guard Auxiliary was advised to discontinue in-person classes for the safety of the instructors and students.

The good news is that the State of Florida (FWC) and the National Association of Boating Law Administrators (NASBLA) have approved the Coast Guard Auxiliary to conduct online classes. These classes are not your standard webinar sessions where the students sit at their computers and are lectured at. And they’re not animated cartoon sessions where you have to keep pressing enter to get to the next topic.

Classes are $40 per student and include the books, supplemental materials and course completion certificates. The classes being offered by the Clearwater Coast Guard Auxiliary are conducted on Zoom with the same instructors the student would have had in the classroom and allowing lots of questions and answers. In addition,

because the classes are on the Internet, there’s no commuting to a classroom – the students can be anywhere in Florida! The boating safety class is also a requirement for many boaters in Florida. In the Sunshine State, anyone born after Jan. 1, 1988, must successfully complete a boater safety course approved by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) in order to operate any boat powered by more than 10 horsepower, and they are required to carry their boater education card with them when out on the water along with picture ID. Contact the Coast Guard Auxiliary, Clearwater Flotilla, for boating safety classes at: www.clwboatingsafety.com or by email at clwtr.auxboating@gmail.com or call 727469-8895.

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.
