About
The Chapman School of Seamanship was founded in 1971 by boating editor and author Charles F. Chapman and mariner and yacht captain Glen D. Castle. It began with classes aboard a 93-foot former Coast Guard cutter and moved to its Port Salerno home in 1984. The campus now includes classrooms, labs, dormitories, a full-service boatyard and a training fleet of power vessels donated through its Boat Donation Program.
The school was designated The Maritime School of Florida by the State Legislature. It is approved by the U.S. Coast Guard under 46 CFR Part 10 Subpart D, licensed by the Commission for Independent Education of the Florida Department of Education, approved by the State of Florida and NASBLA, and recognized as a 501(c)(3) non-profit educational institution.
