NVSPS offers two groups of boating courses:
Basic Boating Course - We offer two certified instructor safe boating courses to the general public:
1. BoatSmart is a four week class designed to teach you the fundamentals of
safe boat handling.
2. The Squadron Boating Course
is an eight week comprehensive course which also includes basic piloting and navigation.
Separately we also offer ChartSmart, a four week basic piloting and navigation course.
Courses are scheduled at various times during the year.
Member Courses - Once an individual completes and
passes the Basic Boating course, they may become a member of the United States
Power Squadron. Local chapters such as Northern Virginia Sail & Power Squadron offer
members a number of courses, including Seamanship, Piloting, Advanced Piloting,
Junior Navigation, Sail, and others. Check the current schedule
