Safe Boating

Boating safety is everyone’s responsibility

As a boater, you are responsible for having all required safety equipment, for operating your boat safety and for ensuring the safety of those on board your vessel as well as those sharing the waterways. Boaters exercising courtesy and common sense will not create a hazard, threat, stress or an irritant to themselves, to others, to the environment, or to wildlife.

  1. Wear an approved Personal Flotation Device (PFD)
  2. Read your owner’s manual and become familiar with all of the operating systems included on your boat.
  3. Attach engine stop switch securely to your body or PFD.
  4. Respect the speed limits and other boating restrictions.
  5. Be cautious and courteous.
  6. Navigate with care.
  7. Understand the behavior characteristics of your vessel that might result from unexpected maneuvers, such as sudden deceleration, high-speed obstacle avoidance, and other speed related issues.
  8. It is good boating practice to rinse down your boat and any exposed engine/steering equipment with clean, fresh water after each use.
  9. Consider taking an accredited boating safety course.
