Initially launched in 2021, BoatClass has grown to eight locations and offers participants a three-hour basic boater training course led by a Certified US Coast Guard Captain. The program consists of 100 percent on-water training to master techniques such as: shifting and throttle control; turning, stopping, backing drills; 360- to 720-degree pivot turns; docking drills; crossing wakes and waves; speed zone adjustments; anchoring theory and techniques; utilizing boat trim; ferrying; and returning to the slip. This course utilizes the same training methods that have been successful for decades throughout the Freedom Boat Club network.
Additionally, as part of the partnership with Freedom Boat Club, after completing their BoatClass course, 2023 graduates will receive a waiver for New Member Orientation on-water training and a reduced entry fee offer, available within 30 days of graduating and applicable to the club they graduated from if they chose to become a Freedom member.
