New England Maritime has been on the cutting edge of maritime training for the past 32 years. 

Jim and Leanne Hurley launched New England Maritime in 1991 with a philosophy that a better educated mariner can take the knowledge gained in the classroom and apply it everyday on the water. After working as an instructor for Jim and Leanne, Patrick Cassidy bought the school in 2021, with a plan to build on the reputation firmly established by the former owners.

The school’s knowledgeable and dedicated instructors work with a curriculum developed from years of experience to give students the best chance of acquiring the knowledge and skills needed to launch a new business or career in the maritime industry. A small student to instructor ratio allows each student to reach his or her full potential. Instructors and facilities are approved by the U.S. Coast Guard as well as the state and the National Association of State Boating Law Administrators, as required.
