My Husband and I purchased a new Pontoon Boat this past Summer to enjoy on Lake Simcoe with our Kids and Grandkids. I always felt bad that he always had to "do the driving" while everyone else was doing the enjoying. I decided that I needed to get my Operator card so that I could share in the responsibility of keeping everyone safe while on the water. The Boatsmart course is an excellent way to take the course at your leisure. While there is a lot of information to cover, the Boatsmart method of covering the information makes it easy and interesting. I would recommend however, that when you do take this course to get certified, that you also have the excellent handbook available as you go through the course for reference. I am proud of my achievement and highly recommend the Boatsmart course!!
