Launch and Learn Program From Modern Yachts


Our customers tell us one of the most important services we offer is our “Launch and Learn” program, which enables a new boater to learn the ropes from an experienced, licensed captain.

Modern Yachts helps new boaters learn to navigate Long Island waterways
through the "Launch And Learn" program.  
Exclusive to Modern Yachts, Launch and Learn is complimentary on-water training provided to customers who purchase a new or used boat from Modern Yachts.

The program focuses on:
  • basic boat operation, controls at the helm, and rules of the “road”. 
  • destination training to all east end and offshore ports. These may include Block island, Montauk, Sag Harbor, Newport, Shelter Island, Greenport, or Nantucket - to name a few. 
  • Shinnecock locks safety training, which provides an overview of lock operation and suggests best practices for navigation through the locks. 
  • safe boating courses. Modern Yachts conducts NYS safe boating courses at our Westhampton location and encourages new boater participation. 
  • mooring/anchoring/tie up training and service. This invaluable component prepares new captains for the basics of maneuvering a boat during mooring and anchoring.  
The Launch and Learn program is a great opportunity for new captains to navigate local waters in the recently-purchased boat. The session will will be conducted with a single participant for individualized attention.

At the conclusion of Launch and Learn, new captains will be more educated on the operation of the individual vessel, will develop skill in boat-specific maneuvers, and will have a fuller understanding of local waterways.

Boaters seeking more in-depth training may contact Modern Yachts for information on advanced training sessions.

Modern Yachts is pleased to offer the Launch and Learn program so that boaters can operate their boats safely, comfortably, and with confidence, in waters surrounding Long Island.
