Students, please take the helm! DBMS is excited to offer a brand new and expanded on-water only boater’s education course this summer. You must have a Junior Operator’s License to register for this class. During this two day class students will spend a total of 8 hours on the water and at the wheel with USCG certified Captains. Modeled after “Driver’s Education,” our Captains will instruct while your student navigates Duxbury Bay and Plymouth Harbor. Covered topics include safety, navigation, boat handling, docking, anchoring, and advanced maneuvers. All our instructor Captains have years of experience on small and large vessels. If you’re looking for the highest level of instruction and an invaluable opportunity for your 12-17 year old, this is the class to sign up for.
Prerequisite: Age 12+ and successful completion of a Mass boating safety course

Women Underway
Ages: 21+
Boating basics taught by women for women! This fun and empowering, hands-on, on-the-water introduction to boating is designed for casual boaters. We will explore basic navigation, engine troubleshooting, mooring, docking, anchoring, and what to do if you find yourself “in charge” onboard. Every boater should know what to do in case of an emergency on the water. We will spend some time in the classroom, take a tour of Duxbury Bay, teach you how to drive a small powerboat, and answer all of your questions in a judgment free space. The day wraps up with wine and snacks on the porch!
Private Lessons
