The Office of Boating Education promotes and supports the public’s effort to educate themselves, their family members, and other members of the community.
With the help of our volunteers the Office of Boating Education has successfully certified 26,624 students as of 2009. Each year the demand to educate the boating public grows and we are constantly searching for new boating volunteers.
Qualified volunteers must have a basic knowledge of boating and boating related activities. Boating Safety Volunteers are asked to do such things as teach mandatory boating education classes, conduct marine dealer visits, set up display booths, conduct courtesy vessel inspections, and speak to various organizations and groups. If you are interested in becoming a Delaware Safe Boating Volunteer please view the Safe Boating Volunteer Policy Manual and complete the Boating Volunteer Application.
After completing the application you may submit it to The Division of Fish and Wildlife Office of Boating Education 89 Kings Highway Dover, DE 19901. If you have any additional questions please contact Sgt Gregory Rhodes either by phone at (302) 739-9915 or by email at Gregory.Rhodes@state.de.us.
Sgt Gregory Rhodes congratulates Andy Smith, the 2009 Boating Volunteer of the Year.
