This book covers just about everything everyone should know before going boating, much more in depth than the Boaters Safety Course and can be kept as a reference book on board

This is the perfect book for a boating newbie. It is formatted great, covering a good range of topics as they relate to piloting your vessel. The illustrations and writing really do a good job of getting the concepts across. Along with Chapman's Seamanship, it's a must-have in any boater's library.

Book is a treasure trove of information for new and experienced boaters. It is also for the foundation for two boater education classes. Buying the book here allowed me to read about the material prior to taking the USCGA training class. This improved my learning during class, and it lowered the cost of my class since I already had the book.
