MASSACHUSETTS: Safe boating course on tap in Manchester

August 17, 2021 — Thinking about safely taking to the high seas or just tooling responsibly around the harbor? FishOn has you covered with the news you can use. Let’s go to Manchester. No really, get in the car. This is good.

The Manchester Harbor Department is offering a two-day Safe Boating course on Aug. 23 and 27, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. each day. The full course will be conducted in the classroom and students must attend both days to receive their certificate. No skipping. And no gum chewing.

The course is not limited to Manchester residents, but the class size is limited. So, don’t dawdle. Upon completion of the course, participants will receive a nationally recognized safe boating certificate good in all states that require them, as well as for the two-for-one specials at Cala’s.

Those interested in attending should email Harbormaster Bion Pike at harbormaster@manchester.ma.us. Make sure you include your name, address and phone number, as well as birthday, hair color and eye color. They’re not looking to clone you or anything. The latter information will be included on the certificate.
