Boater Safety Tips
Boater Safety Tips
  • Always have a Personal Flotation Device on board for each passenger.  Make sure devices are size-appropriate.
  • Always have a throwable life ring or buoy on your vessel.
  • Always have a fire extinguisher on board. Make sure all passengers know where it is located and how to use it.
  • Always have a horn, bell or whistle on your vessel.  Conduct regular checks to ensure the noise device is working appropriately.
  • Never take a vessel out into the water while you are under the influence of alcohol or other substances.
  • Always have a communication device on board that does not depend on cell towers.  Two-way radios are the most popular.
