6/20/21: Hi Bob, this is Meena. I just wanted to say THANK YOU, and how much I appreciate your patience and kindness. The videos you prepared were amazing—concise and yet, very informative. No I’m person ‘lecturing at you’ review sessions, which I feel are very ineffective. I’m a visual learner so watching the animations behind your back as you looked at the camera and spoke to your audience were incredibly valuable. The guidelines on what to expect during the testing process were more thorough than anything that I have ever encountered. I’ve been teaching for years but you actually made me want to be a better teacher today! No exaggerations or buttering up—it’s a fact. Thank you again. Where should I go to write a review for you? I think more people should hear about you and your testing services.
We were permitted to open back up on June 5, 2020, and had to abide by strict CDC and NJSP regulations in order to operate.
Pj Falk An absolutely hassle free experience in this currently crazy world. I would have rather attended classroom instruction as web based courses do not always hold my attention. That said - the online course and review exceeded my expectations. It was well done, concise, and provided exactly what I needed to know. The testing experience (exam taken in car) was also well organized and run. Take advantage of the review quizzes and videos. Bob has made a significant effort in making sure you are well prepared. Response from the owner Hello Capt. PJ! Thank you for sharing your very thorough review about your experience and congratulations on receiving your NJ Boating Safety certificate! I’m confident that future students will benefit by reading your review! Especially the part about the review quizzes and Video! Your friends at Boat Safe US are grateful for your kind words and for choosing us as your proctor for the NJ Boat Exam! We look forward to seeing you out on the water! Stay Safe! BTW Congratulations on becoming a member of the Boat Safe US "Perfect score club!" Well Done Captain! We hope your Perfect Score picture is posted neatly on your refrigerator!
Michael Coronado Super convenient and Covid conscientious! Bob thoroughly explained each process of the exam, this gave me a lot of confidence and I recently passed this weekend! Thank you again Boat Safe US! Oh and be sure to say hi to Bob if you see him, he's awesome! Response from the owner Hello Capt. Michael! Thank you for sharing your review about your experience and congratulations on receiving your NJ Boating Safety certificate! Thank you for arriving at your exam site confident and well prepared! Your friends at Boat Safe US are grateful for your shout out to Capt. Bob and for choosing us as your proctor for the NJ Boat Exam! We look forward to seeing you out on the water! Stay Safe!

Bill Tompkins To say the entire experience was good, is a bit of an understatement. The online course is easy to consume, well written and produced and overall gets all the laws and points across very easily and accurately. Captain Bob was a fantastic host while taking the proctored exam, even with it being Covid times. He ensured that exam takers were socially distanced from on another and ensured that everyone knew exactly what to do and when. I would highly recommend this course and exam for anyone looking to have gain their boaters certificate. All-in-all, it took about 5.5 hours for the on-line course and about 45 minutes to sit the test from start to finish. Not a lot to ask for, considering for many of us, this is a whole new experience than driving a car in NJ and there are just as many perils and obstacles that can be involved in boating. Take your time, understand all the rules, get your cert and be a mannered boater.. Great job Captain Bob, thanks for everything. Response from the owner Hello Captain! Thank you for sharing your very thorough review about your experience and congratulations on receiving your NJ Boating Safety certificate! I’m confident that future students will benefit by reading your review! Your friends at Boat Safe US are grateful for your comments and for choosing us as your proctor for the NJ Boat Exam! Because the on-line course pages are timed, you cannot advance pages (no matter how fast you can read) until the page has timed out. I will share that I believe your 5.5 hour time for the on-line course was well below the average time it takes the majority of the students to complete. Nicely Done! We look forward to seeing you out on the water! Stay Safe! BTW Congratulations on becoming a member of the Boat Safe US "Perfect score club!" Well Done Captain! We hope your Perfect Score picture is posted neatly on your refrigerator!
Robert Setzer I used Boat Safe US for taking my Boating Safety Certificate exam. They offer contactless exams from the comfort of your car! The whole process was extremely organized and easy to follow. For new boat owners like me who need to get certified, I'm glad there is a way I could do so while feeling safe during the pandemic. I completed my course with BoaterExam.com in my home and Boat Safe US administered the NJ State Police Boating Safety exam while I remained in my car. I received a perfect score of 60/60! Great experience! Thank you, Captain Bob! Response from the owner Hello Capt. Robert! Thank you for sharing your very thorough review about your experience and congratulations on receiving your NJ Boating Safety certificate! I’m confident that future students will benefit by reading your review! We strive to make sure our exam process is safe and efficient for all students, And safe for our instructors as well!

Brett Elmblad Thank you, Captain Bob and the Boat Safe US, LLC staff for the great experience to obtain my boating certification in NJ.

Andrew LaBruna Captain Bob was extremely thorough and helpful. The entire process and directions were super easy to understand.

Now that you have your NJ certificate, the next time we see you will hopefully be out on the water!

Julie Greco Great experience at the Woodbridge drive up test site. Felt very comfortable with how everything was run at safe distances and the videos were great. Everything was very well organized and the instructors were very friendly! I like how they reviewed the test with me after I finished! Every certification test should be run as smooth, comfortable, friendly and as helpful as the Boat Safe US! I HIGHLY Recommend! Response from the owner Hello Julie, Thank you for taking the time out to share your experience with Boat Safe US! I enjoyed interacting with you in a socially distanced fashion, although I would have preferred a classroom setting (like prior to Covid!)

Katie Puma The entire experience with boat safe US was fantastic! The online course was really well done and I can't say enough about how well the in-person exam process was run! After registering via email for the exam, I received a very detailed email with youtube videos to watch; 1 was about the day of exam process and 1 was a study guide. Both were incredibly well done and I felt extremely prepared both mentally and physically! On the day of the exam, I drove into the designated parking lot and followed the steps on another video that was sent to my phone. I felt incredibly safe in terms of covid, and the test was taken in my car. Great experience! Great job Boat-Safe US! Response from the owner Greetings Capt. Katie!

Jon Rheinhardt I am completely satisfied with my experience. I am new to boating and was worried that I would not pass the test. The preparation and reinforcement ahead of the test put me at ease.

Edmund Sage The testing site was very easy to manage it had posted signs and videos to guide you through the test taking process. You could easily ask a question by texting your proctor. Finally it was very easy to follow the instructions in video form and safe because it allowed you to take the test in your car. Response from the owner Greetings Ed, We appreciate you sharing your experience with the community. Especially those students who would prefer taking the exam from the safety of their vehicle. While we do offer some "indoor" exam locations, Our preference is the "Drive-in" contact free exam process! Just for clarification, texting is convenient during the NJSP application completion process. Once the exam begins, all phones are required to be on top of the folder on the dashboard to protect the integrity of the exam. P.S. I hope to see you out in the Canyons this year! Catch em' up!
Frank Santangelo Very well organized by Captain Scott. His directions and communications were precise and accurate. He solicited questions both before and after the testing period. Thank you!

Congratulations on receiving your NJ Boating Safety Certificate! We hope to see you out on the water! Stay Safe!
Denise Arrived at the VFW and was pleasantly surprised at the thoroughness of check in. Jeff explained everything, patiently (twice because I wanted to repeat what he said to me) and with ease. After pulling to my parking space I placed my phone on the dash as directed and began the test. He checked in with me (and everyone else in the parking lot) to make sure we hadn’t run into any issues while filling out our paperwork. Once the test was completed, I pulled into the completion line and was welcomed with a perfect score! I definitely suggest everyone watch the refresher before the test! Jeff congratulated me and I was on my way. Super excited to be a jet ski Captain this year hahaha best of luck to everyone! STAY COVID SAFE!!! Response from the owner Greetings Capt. Denise! Congratulations on receiving your NJ Boating Safety Certificate! And congratulations for being a member of our "Perfect Score Club"!

Malaka Took the online course and completed my exam with Boat Safe US at the Clifton location. The process was designed very well and simple. I highly recommend watching the Final Review video they provide as it really helped with the tougher questions. Taking this exam was a breeze and I would recommend Boat Safe US.

John Sarrao Bob Kita was very prepared and walked me through the boat licensing testing process while maintaining a safe distance. This was very important to me because of my concerns with the COVID virus. I didn’t think it was possible to take a non contact boat license test but Bob made it quite easy. He also had hand sanitizer for me to use!!! I really appreciated the concern not only for my safety but that of Bob’s also. Very well done!!! Thanks Response from the owner Greetings John, I truly appreciate your kind words. It's important to all of us at Boat Safe US that we create the safest environment for all of our students by following all of the NJ State and CDC Covid protocols. Congratulations on receiving your NJ Boating Safety Certificate. It was a pleasure to have served you!

Hello Dan, It was a pleasure to get you certified! Congrats on receiving your NJ Boating Safety Certificate! I hope to see you out on the water! Stay safe and healthy!
Daniel Gardner The entire Boat Safe experience I had to acquire my NJ boating license/safety certificate was fantastic. Took the online course through Boat-Ed, a third party service, which was very seamless and has plenty of diagrams, quizzes, and tips to help prepare you for the exam. Normally you’d take the exam in a classroom of some sort, but during COVID many of the sites are outdoors; I took mine in a parking lot in Bridgewater, NJ. Exam doesn’t try to trick you but you definitely need to study. Registration for the exam was a piece of cake, pick the location, send an email to confirm, and then show up day of the exam. There are plenty of links provided to YouTube videos that explain in full detail how the whole process works (from arriving, filling out registration, taking exam, etc.). Exam is graded instantly via scantron/QR code, and then if you pass, Bob or whoever’s proctoring will sign off on the registration, giving a carbon copy to you and mailing the main one to the NJ State Police. Expect to have the permanent one mailed over the next few months, but the temporary one you walk away with is good to go in the meantime. Captain Bob was great, very responsive, and ran a seamless test day experience. Would definitely recommend to fellow first timers! Response from the owner Greetings Capt. Daniel! Your friends at Boat Safe US appreciate you taking the time to give us a 5 star rating! Along with a very through description of the entire process! We strive to make sure our exam process is safe and efficient for all students, And safe for our instructors as well! We also want to thank you for your kind words! It means a lot for the Boat Safe US Family to have another satisfied NJ Boating safety Course student! Congratulations on receiving your NJ Boating Safety Certificate! ***Please Note*** The video "After the exam" that was part of your text at the exam site clearly states that Your permanent certificate can take as long as 6 months (possibly longer) We have been asked by the state police not to even give out an estimated time for you to receive your permanent certificate. Here is the link for the "After the Exam" video: https://youtu.be/Ag7GNeYBOGk The video will also give you guidance on using our website to find where you are in "Queue" on receiving your permanent certificate. We apologize for any confusion regarding when you will receive your permanent certificate. It is important for us to be clear on all timelines pertaining to our process. Thanks Again, We hope to see you out on the water! Stay Safe!

He was personable, extremely knowledgeable and interjected real life experiences and situations into the course which were relevant to what was being taught.

Antonios Apostolidis I took the two night class last week. Captain Bob was very enthusiastic, funny and informative. He kept everyone's attention the whole time, and not once did I feel bored or lost during the class. You can tell that he loves boating and that he wants everyone to learn the safe operation of boats and personal water craft. On a side note, Captain Bob's beard is awesome and deserves a 6th star....Their website is very easy to use, and signing up for the course is simple. Everything you need to bring with you is laid out and the material given to you in class is good quality. Also, I like how they update their website on the status of your permanent boat safety certificate. Response from the owner Hello Capt Antonios, Thank you for sharing your pre-covid experience and congratulations on receiving your NJ Boating Safety certificate! It's amazing how the world has changed since you took your class! Your friends at Boat Safe US are grateful for your Kind words!

S., D., and J. D. - We just received our boating classes in the mail, and we are thrilled! I wanted to answer your question about making the class better, and we can’t think of any. We loved the short video clips that easily held our attention, along with the choice of also reading the information. The car testing during COVID worked perfectly for us. The cost of the class was comparable to other classes, but you offered more. We would definitely recommend you to everyone! Thanks again for a great experience!
