taught by Ship 72 Mentors


LATE 1800's - 25' RACE POINT SURF RESCUE BOATS


Surrounded by salt water bodies, such as the Atlantic Ocean, Nantucket Sound and Cape Cod Bay, and with abundant fresh water ponds and lakes, Cape Cod is the ideal location for young people to learn about and have experience in these special places. Our mentors have decades of experience on these waters and understand local weather, and so can provide expert training and skill development for our youth. Safety is considered first and foremost. Then the adventures and experiences begin. Examine the categories below for more information.
