About Flotilla 36
Public Education
We offer several boating safety courses that are open to any boater in the Mobile Bay area. We offer a wide variety of boating courses tailored to specific needs including boat handling, legal responsibilities, aids to navigation, rules of the road, piloting, and PWCs. Passing the exam from the BS&S course or BSC will exempt boaters from taking the Alabama Vessel Operator's exam.
