This Coastal Navigation Level 1  distance learning training is so that you will be safe using a coastal navigation chart (paper, waterproof, or on your phone) to navigate Maine's rugged coast. This two session class meets two weeks apart for 2 hours each time using Zoom meetings.

This class is highly recommended for future Registered Maine Guides, sea kayakers, small boat operators, sailors, and those that want to be safe on the coastal tidal waters of Maine.  

Price includes access to an online course to supplement your training and act as your textbook. You will need a pair of dividers, a parallel ruler, a chart of Casco Bay or Penobscot Bay, a printer, and ability to use a computer to Zoom.

 You may register for this course by visiting any of these adult education programs:  Merrymeeting Adult Education, Five Town CSD Adult & Community Education, Maranacook Adult Education, Boothbay Region Adult Education, Winthrop Adult Education, and Gardiner Adult Education. 

If these dates don't work for you, please contact Alice to set up a private course.  alice@amaineguide.com

Future Registered Maine Guides for Recreation, Hunting, and Fishing specialties need to know how to paddle a canoe and a SUP correctly. They also need to know how to teach those skills to clients and how to rescue an unexpected swimmer or a capsized canoe. 

Join a live workshop to learn and practice these skills. Participants must wear either a wetsuit or drysuit and a PFD at all times. Limited rentals of wetsuits are available. This is an outdoor workshop that is dependent on open calm water. Location will be decided the week prior to the event, but will be in the greater Brunswick, ME area. Participants will be wearing a face covering as currently required..
