Safer Boating Week - Course Combo Deal with Safety on the Side.

Coastguard Boating Educations 2015 prize Alex Gatland
Safer Boating week from October 16-23 is a call to action for boaties to get ready for the summer boating season. Coastguard Boating Education is committed to ensuring the safety of all boaties who venture onto the water and is proud to be part of the sector wide initiative.

To support Safer Boating Week, Coastguard Boating Education is pleased to be able to provide a Course Combo Deal over the campaign. Any student who books on either a classroom or Home Study course will also receive at no extra cost, a Day Skipper Online Course.

This significant offer in excess of $8000 in course costs is a major incentive for boaties to improve their boating knowledge and know what they’re doing on the water.
In addition to up-skilling their knowledge, boaties will also have the opportunity of going into the draw to win a boating safety grab bag containing the following essential boating equipment; 1 large Hutchwilco grab bag, 2 adult sized inflatable lifejackets, 2 children’s sized Mariner Classic lifejackets, 1 Flare pack and 1 First Aid Kit.

These items in excess of $800 have been generously donated by New Zealand’s manufacturer and distributor of marine goods, Hutchwilco, who are proud supporters of Coastguard Boating Education.

For further details of this offer and the range of course options can be found at boating.education or like us on our Facebook page.
