The U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary in conjunction with the Clay County Sheriff’s Office, offers a monthly free Safe Boating Classes in the Green Cove Springs area. Whether you are a new boater or wish to refresh your knowledge, this is a great class for you. Upon successful completion of the class you will receive a Florida Boating Safety Education card which is good for life.

If you were born after January 1, 1988, you are required by law to have the Florida Boating Safety Education card in order to operate a boat alone. In conjunction with the class, you can arrange to have your vessel receive a complimentary “Vessel Safety Check” through the US Coast Guard Auxiliary and upon passing receive a 2018 Safe Vessel Sticker.

The Boating Safety Classes are held at the USCG Auxiliary Headquarters Building located at: 1 Bunker Avenue, Green Cove Springs, FL (behind the Military Museum). (See Map on Back) Seating is limited and reservations are required. For more information or to sign-up contact: Chuck Whipple at boatsafeclay@gmail.com (Subject: Class inquiry/Sign-up)
