Heads Up, Cape Cod Boaters!
As we look forward to another beautiful season on the water, there is an important update for everyone planning to captain a vessel this year. Massachusetts has implemented a new boating law that requires many operators to obtain a boater safety certificate.
Whether you are running a center console, heading out to fish, or simply cruising the harbor, being informed makes Cape Cod’s waters safer for everyone. The good news? You can get certified right here in our community before the summer rush hits.
