Default Re: Boating Safety Course

Check you PM Flip.

The Boater Safety program is TOTALLY run by the NJ State Police- not NJ Div of motor vehicle.

In fact if you do salt water you NEVER have to go to motor vehicle and waste money on that endorsement. You know that right?

BoaterExam.com is an excellent on line course to take. Also affiliated with Sea Tow too. You have to take the final exam in person with a NJ State Police certified instructor. You need to get an 80% or higher ( was 70% until December 2011) to pass the final exam.

With the right instructor, the in-person is much more informative. Some instructors and schools just stand there and read the book to you for 4 hours and then you watch a movie. They just take your money.
