Captain Brian is the bomb! We took the free two hour course with him on a chill Monday evening and learned a lot. He is very patient, kind and helped every student build confidence in their boating skills. I highly recommend taking his class.

I had the best time taking the beginning boating course with Captain Brian last week. He was knowledgeable, kind, patient and fun. We all had a few beginners jitters and he couldn't have been better, especially with learning how to dock the boat. I will be recommending this course to family and friends.

Had a great time with Boat Setter’s basic boat course! It’s truly a very basic lesson in learning how to operate a boat properly & safely (driving, turning, docking, terminology). CAPT Brian was a great instructor and he made class very comfortable! Definitely check out this course bc not only is it FREE, it’s a great way to spend 2 hrs on a boat. Lake life is the best life! 🙂🙂
