The Chapman School is committed to boating safety through education. It is the best way to keep pleasure boating just that, a pleasure.

      We at the Chapman School firmly believe that the key to enjoying your boating time with friends and family, whether power or sail, lies in your ability to operate your vessel with knowledge and competence.  This competency can be generated by and confirmed with our certification programs, Chapman Powerboat Certification (CPC) and American Sailing Association (ASA).  These certifications can also possibly assist with  chartering and purchasing insurance. These  programs provide hands-on training and confidence in sharing the waterways with others.

      Pleasure boat owners desiring an intensive course may choose our Mariner Training to learn all they can about their vessels, especially if they are planning long ocean voyages or living aboard for extended periods of time.
