Our purpose is to provide necessary education to meet the needs of the boating public and fulfill the requirements of Delaware s mandatory education requirements. Delaware conducts several boating safety education courses for schools, private organizations, clubs, and the public.
Boating education teaches boaters to be safe, knowledgeable, and responsible.
With more and more people enjoying the ocean, lakes and rivers every year, it is important, for everyone, that boaters educate themselves on boating skills and seamanship. The program also provides a forum through which students, parents, faculty and Enforcement Agents can become acquainted with the community s youth. Our mission is to assist all individuals in developing awareness, skills, and commitment to safe, responsible behavior and constructive actions. Our goals are for students to be aware of state laws regarding safety violations and how to prevent violations from happening, the role of the Enforcement Section in society, and to review ethical issues in a classroom setting. Materials and any educational aids needed for the programs are also provided free of charge.
