Recademics.com Launches Maryland Boater Safety Course

Southlake, TX – Recademics.com, a U.S.-based provider of online recreational safety certification courses, is proud to announce the launch of its Maryland Boater Safety Course. Approved by the Maryland Department of Natural Resources (Maryland DNR) and aligned with NASBLA standards, the course provides a convenient, interactive way for Maryland residents and visitors to meet the state’s boating safety education requirement.

Maryland law requires many operators to carry proof of boating safety education while operating a motorized vessel on Maryland waters. Recademics’ online course offers an accessible option for boaters who want to learn the fundamentals of safe operation, navigation rules, emergency preparedness, and responsible recreation.

“From the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries to Maryland’s rivers and inland lakes, the state offers incredible boating—and conditions can change fast,” said Mitch Strobl, Co-Founder of Recademics.com. “Our goal is to make boater education practical and memorable, so people feel confident on the water and help keep Maryland boating safe for everyone.”

The Recademics.com online course covers essential topics such as Maryland boating safety fundamentals, navigation rules, safe vessel operation, required equipment, emergency procedures, and environmental stewardship—delivered through interactive lessons, quizzes, and real-world scenarios on desktop or mobile.

In addition to safety, the course emphasizes stewardship—encouraging boaters to protect sensitive habitat, respect wildlife, and help prevent the spread of aquatic invasive species.

“Boater education shouldn’t feel like a checkbox,” Strobl added. “We want students to leave with knowledge that sticks, so they’re safer operators for life.”
