About Us: Standards That Set Us Apart
At Connecticut Boating Certificates, we believe that high standards are the foundation of any successful business—and we’re no exception. In our “About Us” philosophy, the student experience comes first, because we’re not just teaching a course—we’re teaching people. Every aspect of our program is designed to be engaging, effective, and empowering.
We take the state-mandated learning material and bring it to life using a variety of engaging teaching methods. Our course is so well-paced and thoughtfully designed, many students say it feels like watching a great movie. Materials are presented in a clear, easy-to-understand format that keeps learners focused and confident.
Our course is officially approved by:
- Connecticut DEEP Boating Division

- Recognized by the United States Coast Guard
We’re proud to meet—and exceed—the standards set by these respected organizations.
Our Trainers
Exceptional Instructors. Exceptional Results. We received the #1 Educator of the Year 2025 in Connecticut and nominated for National Educator of the Year
At Connecticut Boating Certificates, our trainers are not only bright and articulate—they’re committed to continuous improvement. Each instructor completes a mandatory 20 hours of professional development annually, staying current with changes in boating safety and refining their skills as educators.
This dedication pays off. Our students consistently achieve an average score of 98% on the final exam. That level of success doesn’t happen by accident—it’s the result of holding our instructors to the highest standards.
We’re proud to have thousands of glowing testimonials from students who’ve experienced the difference our instructors make. When you learn with us, you’re learning from the best.
Our Mission
Safe Boating Saves Lives — And We’re Proud to Be Part of That Mission
Far too many boating fatalities could have—and should have—been prevented. That’s why we emphasize safety throughout our course. By following structured procedures and adopting the right mindset, boaters can avoid unnecessary accidents and enjoy the water with confidence.
We believe that knowledge is power, and we empower our students with life-saving information. But safety isn’t just about facts—it’s about attitude. Whether you're operating a vessel, personal watercraft, jet ski, or paddle craft, it’s a serious responsibility.
Let us share our expertise with you. Our goal is to help you enjoy years of safe, responsible, and truly enjoyable boating with your family and friends.
