⛵ Catch Us at the Newport International Boat Show
September means boat-show season in Rhode Island, and we’ll be at the Newport International Boat Show, September 17–20, 2026.

Whether you’re shopping for your next boat, exploring new marine technology, or simply love seeing what’s new in the boating world, the show is one of the highlights of the fall boating calendar.

And if a new boat—or a bigger boat—is in your future, come talk to us about what happens after the purchase.

In-Command can help with:
New Owner Training
Insurance-required instruction
Docking and close-quarters maneuvering
Vessel systems and safety
Bow-to-Stern Dockside Assessments
Private instruction on your own boat

Buying the boat is only the beginning. Knowing how to confidently operate it is what makes ownership enjoyable.

If you boat in Rhode Island or Massachusetts, your safety card matters before you head out.

You can complete the 1-day Boater Safety & State License Course in one classroom session, then take the state exam at the end of class.

If you pass, your RI or MA boating license application gets submitted to the state.
This course covers the basics you actually use on the water, including boat operation, safety gear, navigation rules, emergencies, and legal requirements.

It also matters for more boaters than many people realize, especially if you were born after January 1, 1986, or if you operate a personal watercraft, regardless of age.

Some insurance companies also offer discounts after a boating safety course.

Next class is August 29th

What is the first thing you want every boater to know before they leave the dock?
