Boatsetter Expands Boatsetter Academy

Boatsetter announced its expansion plans for Boatsetter Academy, including a launch into seven new markets and an evolution of its course curriculum. In its inaugural summer, approximately 1,000 people across eight U.S. cities have successfully completed the course—averaging 80 participants per week to get out on the water.

The complimentary on-water beginner’s boating course, dedicated to teaching new boaters about the fundamentals of operating a boat, will expand its course curriculum to include practical skill sets, including everything from knot-tying and anchoring, casting a line and baiting a hook, using and understanding onboard electronics, and much more. The company is also establishing strategic partnerships with brands that will assist in building a digital content library to complement in-person participation and encourage continued education.

Currently offered in San Diego, Manhattan, Miami, Seattle, Austin, Dallas, Tampa, and Los Angeles, the program will expand to Chicago, Washington, D.C., Phoenix, Houston, Salt Lake City, Atlanta, and Charlotte, NC.

Course schedules and sign-ups for each location are available at Boatsetter.com/Academy. The program will continue to run year-round in markets where weather permits (primarily in Florida and Southern California). To sign up and participate in Boatsetter Academy, download the Boatsetter app on iPhone or Android and create a Boatsetter account prior to completing the course.
