Program Benefits
Dealers & Manufacturers now have a convenient way to give their customers the opportunity to learn about boat safety and develop the skills and confidence required to safely operate their new boat on the water.
Why offer boat training to your customers?
- Recreational boating has becoming more challenging for boat owners. The waterways are jam-packed.
- Many insurance companies won't approve first-time boat owners, or those that trade up too quickly
- State and Federal Laws are changing and often inconsistent, although boating regulators are beginning to collaborate.
- Dealers are facing new legal liabilities, and precedents are impacting the industry. A boat dealer recently lost a multi-million dollar case, where he was sued for not properly training a new boat owner.
With these challenges in mind, SaferBoater began as a collaborative effort of expert instructors and boating enthusiasts to share their love of the water and expertise with new boat owners, believing confident, knowledgeable boat owners make safer waterways for all.
From these efforts, the MyNewBoat program was born, and now dealers can offer The Gift Voucher Program which will offset the entire cost of the course for the customer, or the Customer Purchase Program which allows customers to become certified or take more in-depth training.
- By providing skill and safety training, you will create confident, loyal and repeat customers
- Your dealership becomes known as a source of solid training for current and future customers
- Enroll your dealership captains in our instructor certification program or have one of our certified SaferBoater captains assigned to your dealership.
Certified SaferBoater Captains
New boat owners need to develop skills, confidence and safety awareness to fully enjoy their new purchase, and they need a trusted source for training instruction.
Our Elite Certified SaferBoater Captains all maintain active US Coast Guard Master Licenses and are certified by at least one of the credentialing agencies approved by NASBLA : US Powerboating , US Sailing or NSBC.
Standardized Delivery
Each of our courses are standardized, which means that no matter which state or captain your client receives their training from, they will always receive the exact same elite instruction required by a Certified SaferBoater Captain.
