Smart Boating is Safe Boating. 

The best way to become a smart boater is to enroll in a U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary safe boating program.  Flotilla 34 offers two programs for you:

Boating Safety & Seamanship

Geared to the novice boater, this program is also appropriate for the person who has been in boating for many years and has never had a safe boating program, or who feels that their skills could use a refresher program.  We discuss every aspect of safe boating in the following classes:

                                          Sign - Boats Have No Brakes
