new england maritime inc

New England Maritime Inc has been on the cutting edge of maritime training since 1991 offering Captains License Courses, Boating Safety Courses, Launchtender Operator Classes and other licensing and skill building courses. The success of New England Maritime is a result of the knowledge and dedication of the instructors working with a fine-tuned curriculum based on years of experience.

A small student to instructor ratio allows the student to reach their full potential. New England Maritime courses are taught by USCG Licensed Masters who are USCG approved to teach the courses. New England Maritime is located Ocean Street in Hyannis, MA with a satellite location in Marina Bay, Quincy.

Since 1997, New England Maritime worked with the Coast Guard inspectors and a local ferry service to provide a Deckhand Orientation Program for new employees to meet Code of Federal Regulations requirements. They now offer the Deckhand Training with Drug and Alcohol Awareness to several companies.
