National Safe Boating Week Runs May 17-23, Resources Available to Share with Your Boating Customers
The recreational boating industry comes together next week, May 17–23, to recognize National Safe Boating Week (NSBW) to reinforce the importance of boating safety education and preparedness as the summer season begins. NSBW marks the official launch of the annual Safe Boating Campaign, a national and international initiative that promotes responsible boating behavior for all who take to the water.
As leaders in the recreational marine industry, manufacturers, dealers, marinas, and other stakeholders play a vital role in reaching boaters with essential safety messages in support of safe, enjoyable experiences on the water.
Throughout the week, NMMA and Discover Boating will share timely safety-focused content across digital channels. Industry stakeholders can amplify these efforts and engage their boater networks by sharing safety resources, promoting local safety events, and educating customers on best practices.
A comprehensive National Safe Boating Week toolkit is available through the Safe Boating Campaign. The toolkit includes ready-to-use social media posts, digital assets, safety fact sheets, and more.
