The City of Cape Coral Parks and Recreation Department is proud to partner with America’s Boating Club Cape Coral to offer a “Hurricanes and Boats” seminar.

This FREE event will be on Wednesday, May 19 from 6 – 8 p.m. in the Cape Coral Yacht Club Ballroom, located at 5819 Driftwood Parkway. The seminar is open to all boat owners in Lee County and advanced registration is not required.

The “Hurricanes and Boats” seminar, which is part of America’s Boating Club’s new boater education series, will cover things that boaters need to plan for in order to protect their boats before the start of hurricane season.

Topics will include a look at the most important items to consider based on the type of boat and where it is normally kept, as well as what equipment and supplies are needed when a hurricane strikes. Presenters will also discuss having the right insurance coverage and how to receive assistance if one’s boat is kept in a marina.

Members of America’s Boating Club Cape Coral will be on hand to answer questions after the seminar and volunteers will be available to schedule complimentary vessel safety checks to ensure a boat has all the required safety equipment on board.

America’s Boating Club Cape Coral has been an active part of the Cape Coral Community since 1964. They have classrooms where they teach a variety of boating classes including America’s Boating Course. Graduates of the class earn a State of Florida Boater’s Education I.D. Card. In addition, members participate in a variety of social and community service activities, including a life jacket loaner program.
