FEATURES

Little Yacht Sales

Little Yacht Sales was created to provide clients with a more Professional Yacht Sale and Brokerage Experience. The LYS team has a combined experience of well over 250+ years exclusively in Professional Yacht Sales.

The goal of Little Yacht Sales is simply this: To provide our clients with the best advice, expertise, and service before, during and after the sale. We believe in an informative personal approach rather than a high-pressured environment as this best serves the needs of our clients.

Our experience in finding, listing and selling both sailboats and power yachts is second to none. There are few offices nationally whose brokers are versed in both power and sail and have brokers who have spent their careers exclusively in yacht sales. This allows us to find the right boat for our clients whether located near or far.

We also have one of the oldest Florida Yacht Brokers Licenses (#1815) and we are members

of the Association of Yacht Sales Professionals (www.YBAA.org) and the International Yacht Brokers Association (www.IYBA.yachts).

Because of our long standing relationship with Catalina Yachts, builders of True North Yachts, Little Yachts Sales is extremely proud to represent the True North line for all of Florida and the entire Gulf Coast to Texas. These American Made Yachts benefit from Catalina’s experience of having built over 80,000 hulls. True North is built to Catalina’s high quality standards and they live up to the rigorous demands of our clients and the sea. Please come see the True North at one of the Florida boat shows in 2023.

Please have a look at our inventory of yachts for sale at www.LittleYachtSales.com and learn more about us. We are looking for a Yacht Sales Relationship with you and would encourage you to tell us what your needs are. We look forward to hearing from you!

Team Quantified Wins Back-To-Back SFC Titles

Dallas, Texas – Sport Fishing Championship (SFC), the governing body of saltwater tournament fishing, has completed its second season, in which Team Quantified took the top prize following the San Juan International Billfish Tournament.

With four blue marlin releases over the course of three days, Team Quantified won the International Billfish Tournament and with it, their second SFC Championship in a row, earning $1 million. Just like last year, they were also crowned winners of the Gulf Division Championship this season, after winning first place in four different tournaments and accruing well over 10,000 points.

“It feels good,” said Team Quantified Captain Justin Drummond. “Me and my crew, we know what we’re capable of. I’m just happy and really proud of them and myself that we’re finally letting everyone see what we can do. I can’t wait till next year as we run for a three-peat.”

On the second day of the tournament, Team Quantified ran into a spot of trouble when they had a fish get disqualified due to a time restriction. As anglers only have 2.5 hours to release a fish after the initial hookup, when the fight went overtime, the team lost that catch and had to make it up throughout the remainder of the day.

“As the leader of the team, I say, ‘we can overcome this’,” said Captain Justin Drummond. “We’re not going to let it bother us, let’s get back to fishing. It was tough on my crew, but we were able to wash it off immediately and move right past to overcome that deficit.”

SFC’s third season will get underway in the spring of 2024.

About Sport Fishing Championship

SFC is the governing body of saltwater tournament fishing with SFC being the largest owner and media rights holder of saltwater fishing tournaments in the industry, available to watch on every major cable and OTT platform on CBS Sports Network, Waypoint TV, SFC Digital Network, YouTube social media and more. In April 2023 SFC launched The Catch, an offshore fishing competition that pairs current NFL greats with SFC star anglers. The two-hour live event airs on CBS and Paramount+.

NewBoats

ATLANTA, GA – August 17, 2023 – Highfield Boats, the leading supplier of Rigid Inflatable Boats (RIBS) in North America, will display five all-new and newly updated models for model-year 2024, including both electric and traditionally powered RIBs, at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show (FLIBS) on October 25-29, 2023.

Highfield Boats is expanding its commitment to offering alternative electric propulsion options for its RIBs in 2024 by forming new partnerships with leading manufacturers in that segment, including ZeroJet and ePropulsion, in addition to its existing relationships with Flux Marine, Mercury Marine and Pure Watercraft. Highfield also is delighted to announce new partnerships with global traditional outboard engine manufacturers.

“Our new engine partnerships and the investments we are making in sustainable technology will give our dealers and their customers a much wider choice of propulsion packages to equip their Highfield RIBS the way they want them,” said Christophe Lavigne, president, Highfield Boats USA. “We are very excited about the wide range of new and redesigned models we are bringing to the U.S. fall boat show circuit this year along with our current best-selling models.”

DEBUTING AT FLIBS 2023: All-New Highfield Sport 800

Available with up to twin 150hp outboard power for breathtaking performance, the new 26’7” Highfield Sport 800 is equally suited to serving as an offshore-capable primary boat and tender to a large luxury yacht. The Sport 800 offers a maximum passenger capacity of 15. The aft cockpit makes a spacious outdoor-dining spot for six featuring a large removable table and handy refrigerator under the aft-facing seat. The rear seat folds over to form an aft sunpad, complementing the large sundeck

in the bow. A standard hardtop provides both shade and sleek styling cues for the new Sport 800.

Highfield ZeroJet 330

The new Highfield ZeroJet 330 – the world’s first production RIB equipped with electric jet propulsion, which made its world debut at the Dusseldorf International Boat Show in January –will be unveiled to the U.S. market at FLIBS. Highfield Boats collaborated with New Zealand electric jet propulsion ZeroJet to design this exciting new 11’ model. The ZeroJet 330 offers sporty performance, with top speeds of up to 22 knots, combined with silent running and the added safety provided by a jet pump rather than a propeller. Twin 48V LiFePO4 lithium-ion batteries provide run times of up to 7.5 hours.

Highfield Classic MAX

New for 2024, Highfield Boats’ popular Classic RIBS range will be offered with a newly expanded “MAX” extra-large bow locker, purpose-designed to hold different brands of lithium-ion batteries so the boats can be rigged with different brands and types of electric propulsion. The MAX boats’ bow locker also is perfect for boaters who want to store more gear in their tender and keep it safe in a lockable compartment. The Highfield Classic MAX 340 will be on display at FLIBS.

www.TheMariner.com

Highfield Sport 660 and Sport 560

These rugged RIBS feature a host of new engineering and design enhancements for 2024 that have been rolled out through the Highfield Sport line. These upgrades include:

• Bluesea dual-circuit battery switch, enabling them to be equipped with two optional batteries for house electrical power

• ACR (automatic charging relay).

• LED courtesy lights on console and helm seat

• USB charger on the back of helm seat

• Bow sundeck

• Console glove box

• Gussi steering wheel

• Hydraulic steering

• Roll bar for boats with single-engine installations

• Swim platform with ladder

• Shower kit with built-in 13-gallon freshwater tank.

These new RIBS are being prepared for market at the new Highfield Boats USA Rigging & Distribution Center in Cadillac, Michigan. “Our expansion to this new facility shows our dedication to offering unparalleled convenience and efficiency to our valued customers throughout North America,” Lavigne said.

ePropulsion Renews Winning Partnership with SailGP

Somerset, N.J. – ePropulsion, a global leader and market challenger in marine electric propulsion systems and services, has extended its comprehensive partnership with SailGP, the world’s most exciting race on water, for Seasons 4 and 5 to advance the decarbonization and integration of clean energy solutions across the marine industry.

Technical collaboration

The partnership, which was originally announced at the beginning of Season 2, will see ePropulsion’s unwavering support extended, with the primary goal of accelerating the transition to clean energy for SailGP’s operations. As the “Official Supplier of SailGP”, ePropulsion will provide its Spirit 1.0 Evo electric outboard motor for the league’s event support tenders, and Navy 3.0 Evo electric outboard motor for SailGP’s community engagement Inspire program support tenders.

ePropulsion’s electric propulsion solutions have also been used to power SailGP’s latest innovation in their autonomous race marks. Equipped with ePropulsion Navy 6.0 Evo, these cutting-edge autonomous race marks are fully

electric-powered and operated via GPS, which means there is no need to anchor each mark to the seabed. This helps avoid damage to the sensitive marine environment while reducing fuel consumption of operational boats on the water.

Sailing community interaction

ePropulsion, who returns as an in-depth collaborator and partner for Seasons 4 and 5, will once again showcase its sustainable technologies and innovations at the SailGP Race Village. ePropulsion will continue its work with SailGP’s Inspire community as part of this partnership. Inspire is SailGP’s community, education and outreach initiative, which aims to serve a leading role in helping diversify the sport of sailing for youth without race, gender and socioeconomic status presenting a barrier to entry. ePropulsion will contribute to the program by sharing its technology to educate the younger generation.

Sustainable commitment

In Season 3, five of the eleven SailGP events were 100% powered by clean energy. SailGP’s

goal is to accelerate its transition to clean energy, with a target to be 100% powered by clean energy – both on and off the water –by 2025.

Dream Yacht Worldwide and Paradise Yacht Management Announce Partnership

CLEARWATER, FL, SEPTEMBER 5, 2023 –

Dream Yacht Worldwide and Paradise Yacht Management are happy to announce that they have entered into a partnership. With its extensive experience in crewed yacht management, Paradise Yacht Management will take over the recruitment, training, and management of crews for most of Dream Yacht’s fully crewed yachts in the Virgin Islands and the Bahamas while Dream Yacht will focus on marketing and distribution of the yachts.

Dream Yacht will expand its fully crewed yacht product offerings by adding additional yacht models that are currently managed by Paradise Yacht Management to its distribution channels, like the Fountaine Pajot Samana 59 and Fountaine Pajot 80. Other catamarans available in the program include the Bali 5.4, Lagoon 51, Lagoon 55, and Lagoon 60.

“We are excited to have Paradise Yacht Management at our side as we increase our footprint in the crewed yacht market and move towards offering our guests an option for larger, more luxurious yachts than previously in our fleet. This step will also come with the opportunity to sell a wider variety of yachts into our yacht ownership programs and guarantee our owners a consistent top tier service for their crewed yachts.”, explains Dan Lockyer, Chief Commercial Officer of Dream Yacht Worldwide.

Fully crewed yachts come with their own highly experienced captain and hostess, who will take owners and guests on an exclusive, tailor-made tour of their

travel destination. The professional crew will prepare and serve delicious cuisine and make sure cabins are spotless every day.

“This partnership with Dream Yacht is a great addition to our pipeline of managed yachts, which will accelerate our expansion into other parts of the Caribbean.

The Top 5 Fish Finder Options to Consider for Your Boat

Want to level up your fishing game by locating catches and ideal fishing conditions? Purchasing a fish finder for your boat helps you do just that.

Not only do these nifty devices detect schools of fish, but they provide a wide variety of underwater information – including water depth, fish distribution, the condition of the seabed, and so much more.

So, how do they work? Well, fish finders transmit ultrasonic waves directly underneath the boat. If the waves hit a school of fish — or something similar — weak reflections return where the waves were transmitted. Those reflections are converted into electrical signals, and the processor transforms the signals into display images on the screen.

While all fish finders use similar technology, many additional features and capabilities exist. Therefore, choosing the best fish finder for your boat depends entirely on your needs and circumstances.

What to Consider When Choosing a Fish Finder

As we mentioned, all fish finders measure depth and locate fish. However, many experienced anglers opt for additional features like side imaging and 3D sonar. When looking for the best fish finder for boats, here are the primary considerations to keep in mind:

• Transducer: This part of the fish finder sends and receives sonar waves. Transducers come with different types of mounts, but the transom mount is the easiest to install.

• Screen resolution: When looking at displays, consider the resolution and number of pixels. The more available pixels, the more detailed the display can be.

• Frequency: Opt for fish finders with higher frequencies (192 and 200 kHz) if fishing in shallow waters. For professional and commercial use in deep water, 50 kHz transducers work best.

• Power: Devices with low wattage are slower (which means they perform better in shallow water). If you want your unit to provide faster and deeper readings, get a high-wattage unit.

5 Best Fish Finders for Your Boat

Ready to purchase a fish finder for your boat?

Here are our top picks:

programs focus on increasing participation and creating interest in recreational boating

1. Deeper Sonar Pro+

The Deeper Sonar Pro+ is the ultimate portable fish finder. Not only does this device have built-in GPS, onshore mapping, and four fishing modes – but it boasts an impressive casting range of 330 feet and scans depths of up to 260 feet. Because it’s relatively affordable, we recommend the Deeper Sonar Pro+ as a fish finder for kayaks, boats, on-shore fishing, and even ice fishing expeditions.

2. Humminbird PiranhaMAX 4

This versatile, budget-friendly fish finder has a high peak power output of 300 watts. With modern styling and a 4.3-inch color LCD, it offers a fresh perspective on what’s floating beneath the water. Thanks to its user-friendly interface, Fish ID+, fish alarms, depth alarms, and zoom has never been easier. Therefore, we recommend this device to fishermen of all skill levels (even novices).

3. Garmin STRIKER Vivid 7sv

The Garmin STRIKER Vivid 7sv is a fantastic fish finder for boats. Boasting a high-contrast color palette, this device makes it uber-easy to see what’s lurking beneath the surface.

The highly sensitive GPS allows anglers to mark hot spots, plan routes, and view their boat’s speed. Additionally, fishermen can create and save maps using the built-in Quickdraw Countors real-time mapping feature.

With all the necessary bells and whistles, we recommend this fish finder to intermediate and experienced anglers.

4. Lowrance Elite FS 7 Fish Finder

The Lowrance Elite FS 7 Fish Finder provides immediate access to an impressive array of fish-finding tools. Notable features include Active Targeting™ live sonar, Active Imaging™ 3-in-1, and preloaded C-Map® Contour™+ charts.

Fall patterns are already beginning although we may not notice the changes. The sun’s rays peeking up over the eastern horizon around 7 a.m. is at least an hour later than a few months ago. Fish begin a transitional period now as the days grow shorter and the hours of darkness increase. Just this one change signals to fish that the winter months ahead are on our doorstep. This triggers the movement of most inshore species of fish toward areas where they will spend the next several months.

Snook end their spawning rituals by either the new or full moon in September and begin moving in from the beaches and passes and on to the flats to feed. Ambush points where good water movement will carry forage is where you’ll find these fish staging to eat. These temperature-sensitive fish rely on a layer of body fat to survive cold winters and reduced forage that’s available during the winter months. Linesiders get extremely aggressive, pummeling topwater lures like the big 94MR18 MirrOlure Top Dog. These surface-walking lures zig and zag in an irresistible motion, enticing strikes. The new C44MR Duke Dog from MirrOlure is destined to be another classic in the long line of this local brand.

Baitfish are beginning to school near the beaches and outside points in preparation for an exit into warmer Gulf waters. Recent rains from Hurricane Idalia caused a water temperature drop of several degrees, pushing many species of fish into the shallows to feed. The change is triggering migrations of nearly all fish inshore and in nearshore waters at this time.

Greater numbers of sheepshead are beginning to move inside the bays and on the flats around Joe Bay, Terra Ceia, and Fort DeSoto. Big breeder-size redfish that have been hanging in the Gulf are starting to filter in on the flats, foraging for food. They will likely hang for another month or two depending on weather systems and how long their forage stays in the bays.

Nearshore artificial reefs have slowly begun to produce a few flounder. This fish is typically a late fall/ winter species for us to target using quarter-ounce Jigs with 3-inch CAL Shads or MirrOlure Marsh Minnow Jr. soft plastics. You’ll find these fish around changes of depth, bottom makeup, and where there is good moving water, like along channel edges

and in small passes or pinch points between mangrove islands.

An influx of Spanish mackerel has been coming in in small waves with schools running off the beaches. Fast-moving jigs, plugs, and spoons are top artificials for them. With a mild winter, you can expect them to hang through New Year’s.

Possibly the most targeted species here is the spotted seatrout. The red tide of the past few years has done some damage to the stocks but we are seeing better numbers of fish moving into the region. The DOA Deadly Combo has been very effective on deep grass flats for these fish. Drifting the DOA Shrimp along channel edges can also produce excellent results along with slowsinking lures like the 17MR49 MirrOlure MirrOdine.

No live bait is needed, just pick up a few lures and head for some water for some great fall fishing.

September is one of my favorite months. Reds should be schooling on shallow grass flats and you also might find big trout there at first light. Baitfish along beaches will attract Spanish mackerel, false albacore (little tunny), sharks, tarpon and more. You should find snook around docks and bridges in the ICW. There should also be tarpon around bridges at night and in areas of Tampa Bay and Charlotte Harbor. Juvenile tarpon from 10 to 30-pounds should be a good option in creeks and canals.

Tarpon should still be a good option this month. Many have moved to inside waters, so you’ll find them around bridges, over deep grass flats or deeper areas. When tarpon move into these areas, they are in a feeding mode. After a long migration and with their spawning duties completed, they need to rest and eat to restore themselves. Ladyfish will feed in glass minnow schools and tarpon will gorge themselves on ladyfish. I have also seen tarpon, “ball” glass minnows into tight schools, and eat them by the bucket full! Fly anglers should score with wide profile patterns, such as Lefty’s Deceiver or EP flies. Small flies, like my Grassett Snook Minnow, tied on a 1/0 or 2/0 hook, are a good choice for tarpon that are feeding on glass minnows.

You should find snook this month around docks and bridges close to passes. They will also start making their move towards shallow flats where you might find them staging along

sand bars or in potholes. Fly poppers or Gurglers may draw some big strikes in shallow water at night or early in the day! I often fish lighted docks and bridges for snook before dawn before moving to the flats after daylight. My Grassett Snook Minnow fly is my ‘go to” fly pattern for snook at night.

Reds are usually in large schools in September. You may find them in shallow water when the tide is high or along the edges of flats when the tide is low. Look for wakes, some as big as boat wakes, or “pushes” to locate them. If it is calm, a school of reds may look like a nervous patch of water or if there’s a ripple on the surface, the school may appear as a slick patch of water. Once you’ve located them, try to get in front of them and work around the edges of the school to avoid spooking the whole school. Fly anglers should score with fly poppers, Gurglers and wide profile baitfish fly patterns. I like to be as quiet as possible in shallow water, using a push pole to move my boat. It is great to find a big school of reds but remember, if you spook one fish you may spook the whole school. Running an outboard may make fish show themselves, but in the long run it will make them harder to catch. I sometimes also find big jacks and blues mixed with schools of big reds in shallow water. Not a bad problem!

Spotted trout fishing should also be good this month. Regulations have changed with a 3 fish per person, bag limit and a 6 fish boat limit. Trout must be from 15”-19” with one allowed per vessel over 19”. In my opinion it’s important to

protect larger trout, which are usually female breeders. Full regulations and details on trout and other species can be viewed at https://myfwc.com/ . Look for big trout in skinny water in many of the same places that you find reds this month. They will be most active in low light, either first thing in the morning or at dusk, particularly if we’ve had an afternoon shower. Cloud cover in the afternoon will also reduce heating of shallow flats, which usually makes fish more active. The same flies that you use for reds will work well for big trout in shallow water.

You may also find trout mixed with blues, pompano, Spanish mackerel, flounder and more on deep grass flats. I like to drift and cast quartering ahead of my drift. Fly anglers should do well with an Ultra Hair Clouser fly fished on a clear intermediate sink tip. In addition to making a series of drifts to find fish, focus on bait schools, breaking fish or diving birds to find fish. You may find tripletail on buoys, crab trap floats or channel markers in inside waters this month. A lightly weighted fly with a weed guard, like my Grassett Flats Minnow, works well for me. The weed guard is important to help prevent snagging crab trap lines. Read the full report at http://www.snookfin-addict. com/flyfishing-forecast/

SPORTFISHING REPORT: MAHI ON

AUTUMN

The large Mahi Mahi are here to pounce on the large schools of baits that return to South Florida in the Fall. The Autumn Mahi Mahi tend to be some of the biggest fish of the year so now is the time to join us to catch the Mahi of your dreams. We’re catching these big Mahi on a mix of live baits and trolled baits such as artificials and strip baits trolled in 200 to 500 feet of water.

The Early Autumn Wahoo bite continues the late Summer momentum! These toothy, striped torpedoes have been so plentiful and big that our top-notch tackle can barely keep up! These fish can turn your reel into molten lava if you’re not careful. Fortunately, our Lady Pamela Sportfishing crews are well-versed with all things Wahoo and stay in control. Nobody can put you on this bite like Lady Pamela Sportfishing! Just like July & August, Wahoos have been crushing slow-trolled live “bullet” Bonitos anywhere from 150 to 400 feet of water, along the clean water edges. The Wahoos have also responded well to our strip baits trolled below the surface on planers and Islanders rigged with horse ballyhoo in both the blue/white and red/black color combinations.

DAYTIME SWORDFISHING

At Lady Pamela Sportfishing, we also offer specialty Daytime Swordfishing charters and Deep Dropping charters for various deepwater species like tilefish, snappers and groupers!

STEADY SAILFISH

Recent cold fronts (cold for us down here)

have brought windy conditions, which are perfect for Sailfishing. The Sailfish are frisky and up on the reefs showering up schools of Ballyhoo. 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. We really love to show our clients the art of Kite fishing. 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 triple-header 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 60 and 250 feet of water. 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. When we’re trolling live Ballyhoo, the occasional White Marlin shows up in the spread, just to make life REALLY interesting.

BLACKFIN TUNAS AND BONITOS ARE BACK!

The Blackfin Tunas and Bonitos are back to blow up our live baits and trolled baits to keep drags screaming and anglers giggling. We’re also catching the occasional Yellowfin Tuna! We’ve been finding the Blackfins and Bonitos in 70 to 150 feet of water and they are eating live Goggle Eyes and Pilchards as well as trolled strips

Southeast Coast

and feathers. Join us to get in on this tasty action!

KING MACKEREL AND BARRACUDAS

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 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. Check out the huge Barracuda that one of our junior anglers tamed below!

AMAZING SHARK FISHING

The shark fishing has been too incredible to describe here. We’ve been catching all of the All-Star shark species: Great Whites, Makos, Hammerheads, Bull Sharks, Thresher Sharks and many more! Captain Quint would be proud!

GIANT AMBERJACKS

We’ve also been on a steady Amberjack bite over the wrecks and these “reef donkeys” are huge! Amberjacks NEVER give up and are absolute sluggers! If you want to get into a tug-of-war, give us a call to get out and tangle with these juggernauts!

Bonefish Every Day! September 4-8, 2023

I had the pleasure of fishing with Ron from Arizona for four days. The plan was for Ron to catch his first bonefish and realize a dream of his after a friend told him how special bonefish were. Well, we spent four days bone fishing and it worked out pretty well. Using a combination of live shrimp on a split shot and live shrimp on a jig to cover more ground as we worked areas I knew they travel in, Ron worked it. The first two days were tough with each day providing one bonefish per day. Great, he got one but we really needed more.

Days two and three were a bast with Ron getting

Chad fished with me 5 years ago and was back today for a full day of mixing it up. We worked hard early morning to get him his first bonefish but there were snook around so we began by throwing top waters at snook missing a couple of bites and landing a cool jack that crushed the top water lure. Along the way I noticed we blew out a few bonefish so we switched to buck tail jigs and on the third cast Chad got his first bonefish. Wow! We fished here and there for more bones with no more hook ups so we fished a few more spots and ended up sharks

fishing on the flats and having a blast doing that. It was a cool trip with a very cool guy. Thanks Chad!

Week in Review

August 14-24, 2023

This week I had a few father son trips and a fly fishing trip with local angler Dean. My father and son trips were mainly shark trip and the kids had a blast catching bait and then sharks on the flats. Fishing has been good generally although the bonefishing hasn’t been as solid as I would have liked even though water temps are much better now. We’ll see what next week brings us.

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.

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.

BOAT AMERICA CLASSES – CLEARWATER, FLORIDA COAST GUARD AUXILIARY2023 - The Coast Guard urges recreational boaters, paddlers, anglers, and others to remain safe on the water by taking a Safe Boating Course. A safe boating class can teach about local boating, the value of wearing a life jacket, and several other lifesaving lessons. A boating safety course will teach the basic skills to operate a vessel safely. It includes the diverse types of boats, their capabilities, and how to choose the right boat for a particular maritime activity. Class members will also learn about various safety equipment and how to use them to avoid accidents. Before heading out onto the open water, it’s crucial to know how to read the weather since Florida is known for its sudden changes from lovely calm seas and winds to thunderstorms, torrential rains, and waterspouts. In the boating safety class, students learn methods for staying safe in any condition, including heavy winds, fog, and severe storms. Boating can be an excellent way to enjoy the outdoors and spend time with family and friends. But it’s essential to be aware of the potential dangers. A class will help the boater avoid being a statistic. It teaches how to handle a boat safely and what to do in an emergency. Finally, taking a boating safety course is a wonderful way to learn the rules and regulations, especially those unique to Florida. Novice and experienced boaters or even non-boaters can benefit from a safe boating course – as an initial learning experience or as a refresher. Regardless of experience level, taking a class is always a good idea. To continue offering these classes safely for the students and instructors, they are being offered on Zoom with the same instructors the student would have had in the classroom and allowing lots of questions and answers. Because the classes are on the Internet, there’s no commuting to a classroom – the students can be anywhere in Florida! Classes are $50 per student and include books, supplemental materials, and course completion certificates. The next classes begin in January and continue monthly. The whole class schedule and registration are at: www.clwboatingsafety. com/boater-class-registration. 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 727-4698895.
