In early May, 2022 Brunswick Corporation announced new locations for BoatClass, an immersive on-water training program designed to teach boating safety and assist boaters in gaining confidence on the water.

“We are welcoming new boaters into our industry every day, so it is imperative that we expand to new locations to help ensure they have access to the best safety and boating education experience,” said Bijoy Jha, CFO – Business Acceleration & VP – New Business Ventures, Brunswick Corporation.

Launched in 2021 for new and seasoned boaters to receive world-class training and learn the necessary skills to make the most of their time on the water, BoatClass is now available at Los Angeles, Milwaukee and Long Island, N.Y.
