Interest in boating, docking, and navigation lessons?

This got me thinking there might be some interest in docking lessons.

I'm thinking about starting a little side business to help these folks learn more about boating so they can have a more enjoyable time with their friends and family on the water.

Would you be interested in private or small group lessons? Do you think this is something work pursuing? Is this something needed on the lake?

I think all marinas that rent boats should be required to go out on the water and give a quick hands on, even just the basics

As pointed out in another thread, one can rent a boat 25hp or less and not require a boater's certificate. I think this will be an excellent idea.
