Carefree Boat Club to Offer NSBC On-Water Training
Carefree Boat Club and the NSBC have partnered to provide on-water boat handling instruction. Carefree Boat Club trainers are being certified as NSBC Instructors to provide boat club members with NSBC's Boat Control On-Water Training course. This curriculum is offered in four modules: 1) Introduction to Powerboating, 2) Precision Docking and Boat Handling, 3) Open Water Boat Handling, and 4) Open Water Advanced Maneuvers.
"2020 has brought an influx of new boaters to the market, and Carefree Boat Club offers the recreational boating experience without the expense and hassle of boat ownership," said Marc Graveline, owner, Carefree Boat Club North Carolina. "Our trainers are certified NSBC Instructors and will provide the best boat handling skills for our members."
