On-the-Water powerboating classes take place rain or shine with the exception of thunderstorms or severe weather. If necessary private lessons may reschedule. Keep in mind, even when hot or sunny the ocean is 5-10 degrees cooler than land and ocean spray may get you or your loved one wet. Before your upcoming course, please check the weather and prepare an adequate outfit. If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to reach out to your instructor and ask. We’re always here to help!
