Boat Lessons

Our experienced boat captains make it easy to learn everything you need.

At DelMar Charters we are all about making sure that you’re comfortable both during your training session, and when you’re ready to captain your own boat. 

Boat lessons are perfect for aspiring owners, current owners looking to improve their skills, or family members of all ages looking to get behind the wheel!

We can come to you, or offer lessons on one of our beginner-friendly boats.

Learn with Us

Build confidence

We build confidence on the water by teaching key areas such as basic navigation, boat etiquette, the rules of the road, weather procedures, chart reading, and more. Before operating a boat, mastering these fundamentals is essential for safety and enjoyment.

Protect yourself and others

Boat training isn’t only for your benefit but also for others on the water and the longevity of your boat.

In addition to the basic training necessities, our experienced trainers will advise you on the best way to maintain your boat so that your problems on the water are limited.

Our instructors can instruct you as to how to handle emergencies so that you and your passengers always feel safe on the water.

Learn in a great environment

Charleston is the perfect place for boating lessons because of the expansive access to different waterways in the area. You can learn to navigate the high seas and smaller inlets all within minutes of each other.

Our instructors will find a place that fits your comfort level to ensure a positive experience and help you focus on the fundamentals so that you’re able to reduce the risk of property damage, personal injury, and other tragedies while on the water.

At DelMar Charters, we are all about making sure that you’re comfortable both during your training session and when you’re ready to captain your own ship.
