On Saturday, March 9 and Saturday, March 23 from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., the New Hampshire Boat Museum (NHBM) will host a NH Marine Patrol Boat Certificate Class.
Designed for ages 16 and older, the class covers various topics, including boat navigation, boat safety equipment, and invasive aquatic species along with laws and rules. On New Hampshire waters, anyone 16 years of age and older who operates a motorboat with more than 25 horsepower must have a valid boating education certificate. “This is the time of year to get your certificate so you are ready for boating season before it begins,” said NHBM Executive Director Martha Cummings.
NHBM’s NH Marine Patrol Boat Certificate Class takes place on Saturday, March 9 and Saturday, March 23 from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. The cost is $40. To register, visit nhbm.org/boatcertificate.
