This course allows for participants to qualify for a boater's license (if boater licensing comes to pass). Usually insurance companies offer a discount for those who have completed a boat safety course. In addition, it offers one the opportunity to become a member of the Oklahoma City Sail and Power Squadron.

Class literature is free. one book per family is ok.

A test will be given at the last class for those who want certification.

    This course meets the educational standards of the National Association of State Boating Law Administrators (NASBLA) and features a proctored examination - as required by many states and insurance companies. The course provides for instruction and examination for laws and regulations of state and local authorities in the area where the course is taught (Oklahoma). This course is a expanded version of the Oklahoma State Course and you will receive the Oklahoma state Certificate upon successful completion of the course.

    We believe that the more educated a boater, the more likely that he/she will be a safe boater. Boat Smart is the beginning of a boating education. Students are encouraged to follow this brief and basic course with additional boating education such as the courses offered to members of the OkC Sail and Power Squadron. Your instructor can give you information about membership and the advanced courses.
