The “Advanced Piloting” course expands on elements of “The Boating Course” and “Piloting”. It demands greater accuracy in positioning and plotting exercises as well as adherence to standardized labeling. Your chartwork skills will be developed to standards recognized in the maritime industry.

You will be taken out of the realm of conning and visual plotting to coastal cruising out of sight of land, navigating in tidal waters, dealing with current, standing clear of danger, and determining position by visual observation or with the use of electronic devices.
