MRSPS Inflating PFD  
Boating Safety Course
 

Miles River currently offers the Boating Safety Course in both a weekend format and "1 nite a week for 4weeks" format.

Miles River also offers Chart Plotting and Navigating with GPS. This course is only in a weekend format.

It is hoped that the combination of these 2 courses will give the boater a good foundation upon which to build his or her boating knowledge.

Our Boating Safety Course meets and exceeds
Maryland Boating Safety Education requirements

on boat insurance rates for most insurance companies
