The Canyon County Sheriff’s Office Marine Patrol Division is offering ten free boating safety courses over the next several months. The first course will be held on Saturday, October 24, 2026. The courses will be held at least once a month through March 2027, with the final one scheduled for Saturday, March 20. The classes will be held at the Canyon County Marine Patrol Office at 12974 Iowa Ave. (Lake Lowell Park) in Nampa. Attendees will learn general information about boats and maintenance, tips to make their boating experience safer, and how to be a more courteous boat operator. Boaters will also learn about Idaho laws and regulations associated with owning and operating a boat.
Attendees who complete the one-day course will receive a NASBLA boat safety card that is recognized in all 50 states. Attendees may bring lunch, snacks, and drinks, but each course includes a one-hour lunch break.
Those interested can register for the course by completing the registration form below or by emailing Sgt. Jason Roberts at jason.roberts@canyoncounty.id.gov.
