The U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary will host a live online Maryland Boating Safety Course on April 5 and 6, 2025, offering an opportunity for boaters to meet state safety education requirements. Maryland law mandates that anyone born on or after July 1, 1972, must hold a certificate of boating safety education to operate a motorized vessel. Failure to provide this certificate when requested by law enforcement can result in fines starting at $25, with subsequent offenses carrying penalties up to $500.

We know you value local news and entertainment that is free, open, and independent. Producing high-quality, paywall-free content isn't free. It takes time, effort, and resources to keep you informed and entertained. Unlike corporate media, we don’t have deep-pocketed investors or big advertisers funding our work—we rely on you, our readers and listeners, to keep Radio Free Hub City running. We're literally running on a shoe-string budget, but keep working hard to provide as much news and entertainment as we can.
If just 5% of local area residents became paid supporters at only $5 per month, we could meet our fundraising goals and continue expanding our news coverage depth while continuing to provide free access for everyone. So, if you'd like to help us in our continuing quest to improve our coverage, please consider becoming a paying supporter.
Will you be one of the 5%?
Thank you for supporting Radio Free Hub City!
The online class will take place on Saturday, April 5, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., and Sunday, April 6, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Attendance at both sessions is required, followed by an online test that can be completed at the participant’s convenience. Those who successfully complete the course will receive a Certificate of Boating Safety Education, fulfilling the legal requirements for operating a boat in Maryland waters.
The course is free for first responders and active military members. For all other participants, a $20 donation is requested. Registration is available online, and class materials will be provided via email. Participants are encouraged to ensure their email address is correct during registration.
