Help Us Keep Central Florida’s Waters Safe.
The Central Florida Boating is proud to provide hands-on, safe boating classes at no cost to our community. Our mission is to ensure every boater, regardless of age or background, has the knowledge to be safe on the water. We are able to do this through the generosity of our supporters. Your donation helps us continue offering these vital classes to Central Florida's youth and directly supports the vital work of the Waves of Hope Foundation (https://www.safeboatingcouncil.org/wavesofhope/). A contribution of any size makes a significant impact on our ability to save lives and create a safer boating culture. A gift of $450, for instance, would allow us to provide a full day of free lessons for a group of teens from the Boys and Girls Club.
Whether you’re looking to sharpen your own skills with our National Safe Boating Council (NSBC) accredited safety courses— or help the next generation learn to navigate the water safely, every contribution helps us make waves of change.
