5 KEY STEPS TO SAFER BOATING
-
Wear Your Lifejacket
-
Legally you must carry one on board, appropriately sized for each passenger. But don’t just carry it, WEAR IT.
-
-
Boat Sober
-
Boating under the influence of alcohol, recreational drugs or prescription narcotics, is illegal, irresponsible and potentially deadly. Leave any such substances until you return to the dock.
-
-
Take a Boating Course
-
The law now requires that anyone driving a motorized boat must have a pleasure-craft operator card. It’s for your own safety and that of your passengers. Don’t get caught without one. Take a course and get your license!
-
-
Be Prepared - You and Your Vessel
-
Ensure your boat has all the required safety gear and sufficient fuel. Be sure the weather is suitable for your vessel’s capabilities.
-
-
Be Cold Water Safe
-
Cold water is a significant risk. Learn how to protect yourself.
