NEW COURSE!! Level 2 Junior Powerboating takes students beyond the basics and out on an adventure across Duxbury, Kingston, and Plymouth Bay. Each day begins with a classroom-based navigation challenge, where students chart a course, choose a destination, and plan their adventure. Then they head out on the water to put that plan into action, spending time at the helm navigating alongside Licensed USCG-certified Captains. Students will build skills in navigation, boat handling, route planning, and decision-making while working together as a crew. Tuition includes ice cream from Kilwins, course materials, and a small swag bag.
