Coastal Navigation Course

Coastal Navigation for Modern Boating

Our Coastal Navigation Course takes a digital-first, and AI-enhanced approach to modern navigation. This course is a perfect compliment to our Powerboat Mastery Course, expanding on the topics of charts, tides, routes and weather. Here is what you will learn in this course:

• How to Build an AI Navigation "Copilot": We will show you how to find high-quality data and use it to build your own AI navigator.
• Understanding Electronic Nautical Charts (ENC's): Knowing how to read a chart is the foundation of a great navigator. We'll show you how to interpret the data and find answers to your questions using AI. 
• Tides and Currents: Knowing how to read a tide chart is just the beginning. This course will teach you the critical aspects of tides and currents that have a significant impact on piloting and navigation. 
• Route Planning: Learn to create safe routes to your destination while factoring in winds and currents.
• Weather Conditions and Considerations: We will teach you how to use modern technology to find the right weather window for your voyage.
• Voyage Planning: We bring it all together and create a simulated voyage using all of the skills we learned.
