 Kids 10+ will be taught all requirements

for the TEXAS PARKS AND WILDLIFE test. WE pay the fees and when a kid turns 13 the certification is ready to print the TPWD Boater Safety Certification — permission license to drive a boat in Texas by themselves. 

Instructors stress critical lifesaving skills, such as man-overboard tactics and rescue techniques for kayaks and jet ski turnovers. Students learn correct use of boat safety gear and how to hail the Coast Guard for help. 

The Youth 10+ program comprises
6 hours of class time including boat driving practice.
Cost: $200

The Youth Boat Training Camp demonstrates correct boating guidelines, boat maneuvers and terminology while teaching hands-on driving skills and training youth to become a safe and confident boater.  

Our goal is to deliver a fun and memorable training program on Baywatch Tours' reliable pontoon boats so that each participant learns foundational skills for navigating our beautiful waterways on their own. 

This 6-hour required TPWD course for Boater Safety Certification consists of 2 consecutive days of intensive 3-hour classroom instruction without boat driving and costs $55.
