- Chartplotter / GPS basics: routes, waypoints, and zooming without tunnel vision
- Useful phone/tablet apps for local knowledge — used alongside eyes and rules of the road
- Depth, speed, and simple overlay habits that match your boat’s setup
- Optional radar or other gear only if fitted and you want to practice it
Call or text (718) 956-5000 to book an electronics-focused block.
Advanced docking
For marina approaches, wind/current, and close-quarters drills, start with private docking lessons. Advanced docking modules on this page build on that foundation on your boat.
Navigation / trip planning: Chart a realistic outing, mark hazards, and brief a simple float plan before you leave the dock.
Anchoring: Set, set-check, and retrieve with control in the conditions you usually see.
Looking for training built around larger vessels (over 32')? See advanced operator training over 32 feet. This page is for named specialty modules on your boat.
