Chapter Review

CONTINUING YOUR BOATING EDUCATION

A responsible boat operator will continually seek information on the safe and legal aspects of recreational boating. Learn more about safe and legal boating by taking additional classes such as navigation, GPS, engine maintenance and first aid. The more you know the more confidence you will have on the water and the less likely you will encounter problems.

Congratulations! You have reached the final page of the American Boat Operators’ Course. We sincerely hope you have learned a few things about safe and legal boating you didn’t know before starting the course. Using "NEXT" at the bottom or the menu at the left, you can test your knowledge of this chapter.

After that you may use the menu on the left to “Return to Table of Contents”, from there you can take the Practice Exam and Final Exam. Passing the Final Exam, you will receive your officially approved Boating Safety Certificate.

Feel free to visit these pages anytime you want. We are constantly updating the course to keep you informed of the latest trends in recreational boating.

Disclaimer: State and Federal Boating laws are constantly changing, and while we make every effort to ensure the information contained in this course is the most reliable, you should always check with you state boating authority for the most up-to-date laws and boating trends.
