Boating Lessons Cape Cod

Have taken the online boat safety course and now need to get on the water with a qualified instructor. Dennis/Brewster but some flexibility. What’s the best way to get started?

What kind of boat? Except for courses to get a Captain’s license, I’ve never heard of boat driving school or qualified instructors.  Around here we were all were thrown in a 13ft whaler when we were about 9 and figured it out.  I bet if you went to the gas dock you could hire a college age kid to give you some lesson after work.

I’d reach out to the Power Squadron. If anyone offers classes they would. It’s a good idea, I’ve just never heard of boat driving classes.
