NEW BOATING SAFETY LAW AND CLASSES

In 2007 the Virginia General Assembly enacted a new law to establish a boating safety education compliance requirement for boaters.  Boat safety classes are continuing to be offered by the Department of Game & Inland Fisheries.

 NRV Flotilla 83 conducted several one-day free classes in 2009 and will schedule several more classes in 2010.

Each graduate earns a wallet card showing successful completion of the class and is also registered with the Department of Game and Inland Fisheries Education Division in Richmond, VA.

This course is approved by the National Association of State Boating Law Administrators and recognized by the United States Coast Guard.  Instructors are certified by the Department of Game and Inland Fisheries.  Most major insurance companies endorse the course and allow insurance premium discounts to graduates.
