New Jersey Boating Safety Class

New Jersey requires all boat operators, including jet ski operators, to have a New Jersey Boating Safety Certificate. You can receive you certificate through classes offered by the Coast Guard Auxiliary. This class is suitable for adults and children age 13 and older. The class is taught by qualified U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary Instructors and concentrates on all aspects of staying safe while out on the water. Among the topics to be covered are proper use of life jackets, required safety equipment, and the U.S. Aids to Navigation System including types of buoys and beacons. Boating law and procedures for handling boating emergencies such as hypothermia, boating accidents, man overboard recovery and running aground will also be covered. This is a one-day class. The class is 8 hour and is taught at the Brigantine Community Center. There is a test at the conclusion of the course and all who pass receive a State of New Jersey Boating Safety Certificate.
