Tell them you are participating in BoatUS On-Water Training and give them your name. I have sent the show a list of the student names. If there is an issue, have them call me at 410-829-5057. 

• Location of Chesapeake Boating Academy/BoatUS On-Water Training: Walk into the boat show. We are located on K Dock by the Demo Dock. We are on the far outside dock overlooking the US Naval Academy. Please view the attached map for details. We will have a WHITE Tent with Chesapeake Boating Academy on it and RED Flags with BoatUS On-Water Training flying from the dock.

• ALLOW EXTRA TIME for parking, getting into the show and finding our dock. We cannot emphasize this enough- please plan so that you can get to your scheduled course on time. 

• Arrive at our tent/training boat location 15 minutes prior to the start of your boating course. Course start promptly at their start time and last for 3 hours aboard the training boats. 

• Please pack a reusable water bottle, there will be water filling stations within the show. We will have extra water bottles on the training boats. 

• Use the restroom before coming for your course; there are no bathrooms aboard the training boats. There are bathrooms around the boat show, shown on map below. 

• Please no aerosol sunscreens- they make the boat slippery and turn the gelcoat yellow. Lotion sunscreen is great! We have extra aboard the boats if you need any. 

• Operating or boarding a vessel while under the influence of alcohol, cannabis, or any controlled substance is strictly prohibited for the safety of all participants and instructors. Anyone showing signs of impairment or intoxication before the course will be denied entry without a refund.
