The demand for on-water powerboat training is high, and the NSBC has created a searchable directory of our instructors. Powered through Google Maps, our Find an Instructor database allows anyone to search for a NSBC instructor in their local area and contact them directly to schedule on-water training.
Southwest Florida has been devastated by category 4 Hurricane Ian. I've lived in these coastal communities for 50 years, and we've never seen a storm surge as destructive as this one. There are thousands of residents who have lost their vehicles, homes, boats, and all their possessions. It's truly shocking and heartbreaking.
Our prayers and empathy are with those impacted and our first responders including the U.S. Coast Guard, Army Corp of Engineers, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, and the local marine and SAR units.
Restoring southwest Florida will take years, and we know that many of our first responders are working around the clock. Thank you for your commitment and dedication to our friends in southwest Florida. The NSBC will provide direct support to residents impacted by the hurricane. If you'd like to contribute, 100% of the donations will fund families who are rebuilding.
Most boaters involved in accidents have never taken a boating safety course. Boat On Course, educational boating safety videos from the National Safe Boating Council, teach the basic navigation rules of boating. Watch at your own pace, and test your knowledge at the end of each video with a short quiz.
Boat On Course is funded by a grant from the Sport Fish Restoration and Boating Trust Fund, administered by the U.S. Coast Guard. Learn more at www.BoatOnCourse.com.

Know Your Buoys makes it easy for boaters to understand common buoys and markers by taking a practical approach to boating by relating it to something you’re already familiar with – the “rules of the road” when driving a car. While there are no painted lanes or traffic signals to follow on the water, you can avoid dangerous collisions by learning the rules of the road and some practical safety tips.
