For the fifth consecutive year, the Town of Huntington is partnering with the Centerport Fire Department offering the NYS Boaters Safety Course. The course is given free of charge however there is a $10.00 NYS fee for participants over the age of 18.

"Recreational boating is a source of great pleasure for many but each boating season can bring needless accidents," said Councilman Mark Cuthbertson. "This is one of the best courses a boater can take in learning how to prevent accidents, injuries, drowning and property damage."

The course is available for those 14 years and older and it is designed as a comprehensive course teaching fundamentals of safe boating operation including accidents and emergencies, boat operation, equipment, fueling, navigation, etc. The course will be held at the Centerport Fire Department, 9 Park Circle, Centerport on March 22, 24 and 26^th from 6:00 to 9:00 pm. Attendees must be present at all three sessions to receive their boating certificate.
