BoatClass, an on-water boater training and business within Brunswick Corporation, announced that it has expanded its offerings to more than 35 locations, including an expansion to the greater Toronto area for the 2025 boating season.
“In 2025, we’re thrilled to bring our immersive, hands-on training program to even more markets, including Canada, making boating safer and more accessible for first-time boaters, as well as those looking to build confidence at the helm,” Rob Schuldt, who leads the BoatClass program, said in a statement.
Launched in 2021, the program combines engaging online virtual training with a comprehensive, three-hour on-water course led by a Certified US Coast Guard Captain (or equivalent), covering essential boating skills such as throttle control, docking, crossing wakes, speed zone adjustments, anchoring theory, and more.
As part of its continued partnership with Freedom Boat Club, graduates of the 2025 BoatClass course will be eligible for a reduced entry fee to join Freedom Boat Club, available at participating clubs.
