Most boating mistakes happen before anything goes wrong. Learn the skills that make docking easier, boating safer, and stressful situations manageable. We solve boating problems before they become expensive ones.

Absolutely loved working with this group for our 16 hour Safe Powerboat Handling course! For our open water skills on day 2, we went out to Thomas Point Light. They earned their USPowerboating Safe Powerboat Handling certification and their MD State Boating Card. I call this course our Soup to Nuts in 2 days. It’s classroom time, boat time and everything you need to know to get you ready for being on the water.

Private instruction aboard a Regal Sport Coupe 35’ in the Kent Narrows with this wonderful couple! We covered close-quarters maneuvering with the joystick, splitting the throttles, fueling, navigating, docking and anchoring!

Hi, my name is Sarah and I’m addicted to ball fenders. If you’ve worked with me, you already know this! Seriously, they’re worth the space they take up- and speaking of space… they fill in the big gap needed under your bow to provide cushion between the dock and your boat. I love them for everything but especially for springing on/off a dock. I keep at least 2 on every boat (and you should see the ones we keep on our TowBoatUS boats!) so book a docking course and buy a ball fender (or 2!!)… trust me, it’s cheaper than fiberglass repair! We’re going to sharing some of our top docking hacks, so follow and stay tuned for more!

Have you seen our YouTube training videos that we’ve done with BoatUS? This is one of my favorite ways to depart a dock.

Is the wind or current pinning your boat against the dock? Or perhaps you have boats tied up in front and behind you at the fuel dock but you need to leave? ...

Super excited to have Capt. Larry aboard the CBA team! Larry was working with us on our TowBoatUS side of the businesses and I knew that with his boat handling and personality that he would make a great Instructor and he didn’t prove us wrong! So grateful to have more teaching talent in the CBA family- please help us in welcoming Capt. Larry!
