As part of its ongoing commitment to advance boating safety, Getmyboat, a boat charter and rental marketplace, has partnered with marine education provider Mariners Learning System to provide discounts and improved access to U.S. Coast Guard Captain’s Licensing courses for boaters to obtain or upgrade their license.
The partnership allows Getmyboat to offer discounted training online, with comprehensive education on Bareboat safety and licensing resources for topics such as Operators of Uninspected Passenger Vessels.
“At Getmyboat, safety has always been our top priority and our goal is to exceed even the robust USCG requirements,” says Doug Bird, vice president of sales at Getmyboat. “This partnership is an important step in raising the bar for OUPV and Bareboat charter safety, ensuring that more fully-licensed captains are operating on the water.”
In addition, Getmyboat is further advancing boating safety by implementing a new internal procedure for vigorously vetting charter operators to ensure only fully licensed captains are operating on the water through the Getmyboat marketplace.
