DOCK LIKE A LADY (BOSS)
Take control at the dock with confidence and style. This hands-on session focuses on three of the most valuable on-the-water skills every boater should master: docking, knots, and anchoring.
Docking: Learn the step-by-step techniques for approaching, stopping, and securing your boat smoothly — whether you’re easing into a slip, backing in, or pulling up alongside a seawall. You’ll practice throttle control, steering angles, and using wind and current to your advantage. We’ll work through real scenarios so you can master tight spaces and overcome the nerves that come with an audience at the marina.
Knots: Discover the essential knots every boater should know — from the cleat hitch and bowline to the spring line and figure-eight. You’ll not only learn how to tie them, but also when and why to use each one. By the end, your lines will be neat, functional, and photo-worthy.
Anchoring: Find the perfect spot and drop anchor with confidence. You’ll learn how to judge water depth, bottom type, and wind direction to set your anchor securely the first time. We’ll cover rode length, proper scope ratios, and safe retrieval techniques — so you can enjoy your sandbar stop or swim break without drifting away.
Every session is private, done aboard your own boat, and moves at your pace. No stress, no judgment — just hands-on learning and real progress.
Throttle finesse is the secret to confident, comfortable boating. In this lesson, you’ll learn how small, controlled movements make all the difference — from gentle acceleration to steady cruising. We’ll focus on finding that perfect balance between power and precision, teaching you how to handle your boat smoothly through takeoff, turns, and docking.
You’ll discover how trim, throttle, and steering work together to create a ride that feels effortless and controlled. No jerky starts, no overcorrections — just smooth, confident handling that keeps you and your crew relaxed from launch to landing.
THROTTLE THERAPY
Conquer the boat ramp with confidence and calm. This lesson takes the stress out of launching and loading by teaching smooth teamwork, clear communication, and real-world techniques that make trailering second nature.
You’ll practice backing up with precision, aligning the trailer, and launching or retrieving safely without the rush or frustration. We’ll cover ramp etiquette, prep procedures, and how to avoid common mistakes that can turn heads for the wrong reasons.
From understanding your trailer setup to perfecting your approach angle, you’ll learn how to handle every step with ease — no yelling, no chaos, just calm control and confidence every time you hit the ramp.
TRAILER TALK & RAMP RESCUE
Take command of your boat like a pro with this advanced hands-on lesson designed for vessels with dual engines. Twin Engine Queen focuses on control, balance, and confidence — showing you how to make your boat do exactly what you want, even in tight spaces or windy conditions.
You’ll learn how to split your throttles for precision turns, pivot in place, and dock smoothly without oversteering. We’ll also cover how to use — or safely operate without — a joystick system, plus how to coordinate throttle and gear adjustments for flawless movement at slow speeds.
By the end of this session, you’ll understand how to make twin engines work for you, not against you. Whether you’re docking, maneuvering in a marina, or holding position near a sandbar, you’ll feel in full control — confident, capable, and completely at the helm.
TWIN ENGINE QUEEN
Navigate with confidence and truly understand the water you’re exploring. Waterway Wisdom is all about learning how to read the waterways, recognize markers, and make smart, safe decisions while underway.
You’ll master the meaning behind channel markers, buoys, and signs — learning the “Red Right Returning” rule, how to read no-wake zones, and how to spot shallow areas before they become a problem. We’ll also cover tides, currents, and wind direction, giving you the knowledge to plan routes and avoid tricky conditions.
You’ll get hands-on experience using GPS, charts, and navigation apps like Garmin or Navionics, so you always know where you are and where you’re headed.
By the end, you won’t just follow the markers — you’ll understand them. This lesson gives you the confidence to explore new areas safely, enjoy every trip, and take full control of your time on the water.
WATERWAY WISDOM
NEW!! MAKING THE RIDE COMFORTABLE
A smooth ride isn’t just about speed — it’s about balance, control, and confidence. This lesson focuses on fine-tuning your boat’s performance so every trip feels effortless and enjoyable for you and your passengers.
You’ll learn how to balance your boat using trim tabs, throttle adjustments, and weight distribution to glide across the water with ease. We’ll fine-tune your setup so you know exactly how to smooth out choppy conditions, reduce spray, and keep your passengers comfortable no matter the wind or wake.
We’ll also dive into tools that make boating smarter and simpler — from using your trolling motor and Power Poles for precision positioning, to mastering your bow thruster for stress-free docking and tight maneuvering.
Finally, we’ll walk through Garmin and Simrad basics, teaching you how to read depth, track your course, and use your electronics to make navigation second nature.
By the end of this session, you’ll understand how to make your boat ride like it’s meant to — balanced, quiet, and completely under your control.
