Women On Water^®

MarineMax’s exclusive Women on Water (WOW) courses are designed to get women behind the helm and enjoying the boating lifestyle. The classes are offered at many of our locations throughout the country, and are taught by U.S. Coast Guard licensed captains who have been certified by MarineMax to conduct the lessons.

These small group seminars, for women only, are designed to build confidence by presenting information in an active, fun, and supportive environment. Each four to five-hour class is split in two parts: a classroom session and a practical, on-water session.
