Whether you own a boat or watercraft, such as a jet ski, or just have the desire to learn boat-handling techniques, this is the place for you. There is nothing quite like a day on the water in Naples, Florida. According to the U.S. Coast Guard, more than 70 million Americans enjoy recreational boating each year. However, choose to arrive safely at your boating destination.

Waterways are second only to highways when it comes to accidental deaths. In the most recent year with complete data compiled by the U.S. Coast Guard, 750 lives were lost as a result of recreational boating accidents in the U.S. and its territories. Overall, operator inattention, carelessness, reckless operation, operator inexperience and excessive speed are the leading contributing factors of all reported accidents.
