Education is Key. Get a head start by learning everything you can about boating safety. Saying you didn’t know better doesn’t help once the damage is done.
Leave Drugs and Alcohol on Land. The consequences of boating under the influence can be financial, legal, or much worse. The possibility of fun isn’t worth the gamble.
Life Jackets Matter. Wearing PFDs can protect those on board. If there’s an accident, these items can’t help nearly as much if they aren’t being worn.
Safety Starts with the Vessel Itself. It can prove risky to take out a boat that isn’t water worthy. Avoid unnecessary worry. Get a free VSC. There aren’t penalties issued if concerns are found. You can take care of everything that needs repairing before hitting the water.
