Flagship presents approved Zenith Maritime USCG license training courses delivered by CAPT Skip Anderson - an authorized
and approved independent contracted instructor for Zenith Maritime. FOR PROFESSIONAL MARINERS ... Getting your
OUPV (Six-Pack) and Master 100 Ton license is an important step in earning industry-wide distinction as a maritime professional,
and for many pursuits afloat, is also a legal requirement. These courses prepare you for the appropriate USCG examinations,
and includes all study materials, supplies, and charts. All examinations are administered right in class, at the end
of each course.
FOR
RECREATIONAL BOATERS ... Remember the investment you've made in your boat? Many
new boaters don't give their own preparation much thought, though, and are typically ill-equipped to operate their new boat
safely and prudently. And even seasoned boaters often step up into a vessel beyond their experience. When that's
the case, you can bet that trouble isn't lurking far behind. Give yourself and your crew the confidence and peace of
mind that comes with professional instruction. In the long run, the benefits of these courses are immeasurable - you'll
learn a lot, you'll develop a new awareness on the water, and likely even start some lifelong friendships. Come aboard!

and my own self-imposed boundaries got in the way. Now is my time." Dave Moorehead, retired, Onalaska
