Public Education Banner

Public Education is the first step of preventative SAR or Search and Rescue. This is one of the main goals of the Coast Guard Auxiliary and one of the largest benefits available to the public in the form of boater education. We provide many different classes tailored for different subjects throughout the year and in different locations throughout Alaska.

Classes offered include the BS&S or Boating Skills & Seamanship, a comprehensive learning experience about safe boating in a multiple lesson type setting, to one day seminar type classes like Know your GPS. All are taught but Auxiliary instructors with insight to the Alaskan waters that you want to access. Take advantage of a safe boating class near you and absorb the knowledge available to you to make you a safer boater!
