What Will I Learn?

You'll master chart reading, compass work, and GPS navigation so you always know exactly where you are on the water. You'll learn the international rules of the road and how to handle crossing, overtaking, and head-on situations correctly. Vessel handling covers docking, anchoring, and maneuvering in tight spaces under real-world conditions. Marine safety procedures include man-overboard recovery, fire prevention, flooding response, and distress communication using VHF and GMDSS equipment. You'll also study marine meteorology, engine systems, and regulatory compliance to operate any vessel professionally and legally.
