An Exclusive InterMarine Customer Event
InterMarine is proud to welcome back our annual Women Taking the Helm: Winter Experience, an exclusive seminar created especially for our valued customers. This highly anticipated event is designed to empower women with the confidence, skills, and knowledge needed to take command on the water.
For our snowbird customers spending the winter in Florida, this is the perfect opportunity to enhance your boating experience while connecting with other women who share your passion for life on the water.
Empowering Women on the Water
At InterMarine, we believe boating is about confidence, preparation, and enjoyment. Women Taking the Helm goes beyond learning how to operate a boat—it focuses on understanding navigation, safety, and how to respond effectively in case of an emergency.
This customer-only seminar is led by licensed captains Brad Heil and Sarah Gierden, who provide expert guidance through hands-on, real-world instruction in a welcoming and supportive environment.
By the end of the day, participants will be prepared to confidently support the captain or take the helm themselves when needed.
What You’ll Learn
During this interactive, hands-on class, participants will cover essential boating skills, including:
How to use a VHF radio
Rules of the road and boating safety basics
How to start and stop the boat
Boat operation and handling
Safe docking techniques
Tying lines and basic seamanship
Optional hands-on docking practice (Touch & Go on a T)
Emergency awareness and response
And much more
Each participant will receive a certificate of participation at the conclusion of the seminar.
