Public Education
The Fort Myers - Cape Coral Flotilla of the USCG Auxiliary strives to make the boating public safer through our various training courses.
Our most popular course (Boating Skills and Seamanship) allows both newcomers and those who have been boating for years the opportunity to learn ways to stay safe in all aspects of boating, both on and off the water. If you are interested in signing up to take this very informative course, please contact Dave McDonough at (239) 283-2208. Our current Course Offerings are listed below.

For the Navigation portion you will also need a pair of dividers, parallel rules, and Chart # 01 E. If you are uncertain what these are, you will be shown on the first day of instruction. These items will not be needed for the first day.
