BoatClass, powered by Freedom Boat Club, is your gateway to confident boating.

We welcome you to participate in a 90-minute on-water training session with a certified captain who will guide you through essential boating skills—no experience needed.  The on-water training is just steps away from our check-in booth in Market Square (within the Newport Boat Show site). Our boats used for training are docked at the Newport Harbor Hotel slips.  

Whether you are brand new to boating or just need a confidence boost, BoatClass is the perfect place to start—and if you love it, Freedom Boat Club is ready to help you keep boating with access to a worldwide fleet, all without the hassle of ownership.

Upon completion of your on-water course registration, Boat Class will provide you a 20% off promo code, as that is your general admission ticket to the Newport Boat Show for the day.
