EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES
CPC 200 is a powerboat
handling immersion course designed specifically for those
who wish to improve their close quarters maneuvering
skills. This 12 hour, hands on program is conducted
onboard one of Chapman School’s training vessels by
professional, US Coast Guard licensed captains who use
Chapman’s proven “Learn at the Helm”™ method of teaching.
The skills learned in this class are fundamental
requirements for the competent boater.
It is designed as a
stand alone program. Successful completion of CPC 200
earns the student certification on either a twin or single
inboard vessel or an outboard/stern drive vessel. This
valuable program is highly regarded by both experienced and
novice boaters alike.

The 2 days / 12 hours
of underway instruction will be held on a vessel that is either
