Let a Pro Show You How
THE KINGMAN BOAT PRO is on staff to help Kingman Boaters feel more comfortable using their boats. Just as a golf or tennis pro is available to his club members for instruction and professional advice, the Kingman Boat Pro will provide classroom instruction and personalized, onboard lessons to interested boaters.
“Although I have been boating for a number of years, I felt that I could improve on my boating skills such as docking and general navigation by taking some refreshing lessons. I inquired at Kingman, where I have docked my boat for several years and was introduced to the Boat Pro-gram. My instructor gave me individual tutoring on things that I could improve upon, with the side benefit of being out on the boat while I practiced. He was knowledgeable and did a great job explaining and making sugeestions. I found the experience very worthwhile.” — Octavio B.

The Boat Pro’s job is to make our boaters feel more comfortable using their boats. If he can help you understand your boat and its equipment, perhaps you’ll use it more often and enjoy it more thoroughly. Isn’t that what we’re all here for?
“We are new boaters, and new to Kingman. One nice feature at Kingman is the Boat Pro Service which includes an “on the water” professional instructor for boaters. We used the Pro Service to familiarize ourselves with the local waters and find the best spots to enjoy. We practiced piloting our new boat; accelerating, trimming and docking. Our Boat Pro Instructor helped us with anchoring and dock line techniques. He reinforced the navigation and basic boating rules along with common courtesy. We had taken the CC Auxilliary Boating Course 8 months earlier and the Boat Pro Service was a great “hands-on” refresher.” — Rick C
A Great Overnight Experience
First of all I wanted to tell you that Matt and I had a wonderful stay in slip 529 with you Sat night aboard “Tess”. The moment we radioed ahead and asked for guidance, the call was answered by a very pleasant gal and Ryan as well and he met us and showed us how to find slip! He also helped us get into the single slip as we are mooring folks with limited experience at docking! We were towing our dinghy which I needed guidance to bring up to front!! Learning on job as first mate for sure!! Ryan told us all about the marina, and also about himself as the owners son! We were very impressed at his politeness, knowledge of boating, docking, and amenities offered to us …. On Sunday we cruised around Patuisset, where I summered and came back to fuel dock to get ice, expecting to run up, but dock hand sent someone up to get it for us! That was another above and beyond act of kindness!
