Niche Boating School 12312 Manatee Avenue West, Bradenton, FL 34209

"Captain Zach was awesome!! Great teacher, very knowledgeable, but more importantly for a new boater like myself, wife, and daughter, VERY patient! Took the time to explain all we needed to know to start our boating adventures! Classes are very affordable and you can get certified at the completion of the course, like I just did!! Thank you Captain Zach!"

"Niche Boating School helped me gain my confidence back after several years away from the water. The classroom time was extremely beneficial when it came time to put that knowledge to work. Zac and Ralph were knowledgeable, respectful and stood by to assist while letting us independently drive, dock and navigate their boat. I highly recommend this class to anyone who is new to boating or apprehensive about driving, docking and navigating their own vessel."

"We recently purchased a new boat and went looking for training. Surprisingly, there is not a lot available in the area but I then was referred to Capt Zach at Niche Boating and very glad we were. The training was thorough and hands on. We spent 4 hours in the classroom and then 4 hours in our boat going through operations, docking, rules of the road and any number of issues and questions. Zach and Ralph were great to work with, both are members the Coast Guard Auxillary and have years on the water. The training was invaluable and raised my ability and confidence on the water. Newbie or experienced you will get a ton of value from training on how to do it right. Thanks Guys, well done! Dave and Lisa"
