SHORE BOATING SCHOOL
Public Boating Safety Course
The advantage of taking an in-person boating safety class with a live instructor is that you can get your questions answered and explore various topics in great depth. The in-person class is usually completed in one day or two nights for a total of 8 hours, as required by New Jersey law. Sign up for a class so you can get your Jet Ski license and boating license.
