BOATING LESSONS

NEW TO BOATING? PURCHASED A NEW BOAT? OR JUST NEED SOME BOATING PRACTICE?

Boating in North Carolina is far from easy and even the most straightforward activity can prove difficult and stressful.

Whether you’ve bought a new boat and simply want an extra pair of hands to help you and your family feel more confident on the water or if you want to fine tune your boat handling skills before the summer, we’d be happy to help.

We can deliver boating lessons to any or all members of your family. Perhaps you would like mom to feel more confident at the helm or maybe your kids are fourteen or over and asking for the keys!

TMS can help you and your family build their knowledge and develop the confidence needed in order to maximize the safe use of your boat.

We typically recommend that our customers receive boating lessons aboard their own boat.
