Who Helm Cards Are For
Helm Cards are designed for boaters who want clear, reliable guidance in real moments on the water — not theory, apps, or long manuals.
They’re ideal for new boat owners building confidence, experienced captains who want quick reference under pressure, instructors and educators teaching real-world skills, and anyone responsible for keeping people safe at the helm.
What Comes in a Helm Cards Deck
Each Helm Cards deck is built around real situations boaters actually face. Every card is designed to be quick to read, easy to follow, and usable in the moment—right at the helm.
Situation-Based Cards

Flip directly to what you need — no searching.

Simple guidance you can trust in the moment.
No theory. No fluff. Just what to do next.
Why Helm Cards Work When Other Resources Don’t
Helm Cards were designed for real boating conditions — not classrooms, manuals, or videos you watched months ago.
They’re built to be used in the moment, under pressure, with wet hands and limited time.
That’s why every card is short, clear, and immediately actionable.
