CanBoat / NautiSavoir, operated by Canadian Power and Sail Squadrons / Escadrilles canadiennes de plaisance (CPS-ECP), is a national, not-for-profit boating organization offering courses and seminars for recreational boaters. Their courses include and are not limited to the Pleasure Craft Operator Card (PCOC) and the Maritime Radio Course to obtain VHF Radio Certification. These build from the basic courses required by law to more advanced material for boaters who would like to cross blue ocean waters. The PCOC card program is the only Canadian-issued card that qualifies for acceptance by the U.S. Coast Guard. Since 1938, generations of volunteers have been sharing their on-the-water knowledge with new and seasoned boaters, helping them prepare for both every-day and emergency situations. Membership in CanBoat / NautiSavoir offers access to insurance discounts for boats, home and auto, discounts on courses, on marine wear and products, on marine on the water assistance and more.
