Whether you're an experienced boater, learning to navigate a new vessel, or just starting out on the great adventure that is Lake Michigan boating, the WHYC education program is here to help improve your boating experience!
The goal is to help our members be safe and smart while enjoying their time on the water.
Topics range from boating safety, seamanship, navigation and weather, planning a cruise, emergency situations and how to handle, boat maintenance and management, and how to fish Lake Michigan for the best results.
Past classes have also included CPR certification, first aid, and the Illinois Boating Safety Course.
All classes are conducted by either certified instructors or passionate Club members with years of experience on a given topic.
Classes are typically free to members unless otherwise noted with a nominal fee for guests or the general public.
