Boating Safety Resources to Share Ahead of the Busy Holiday Weekend on the Water
As the busiest boating holiday of the summer approaches, millions of Americans will take to the water to enjoy boating with family and friends this coming weekend. It’s important to reinforce safe boating practices and provide tips for ensuring a safe and fun time on the water.
Discover Boating® has compiled articles and resources covering a variety of recreational boating safety topics, including the recent five-part safe boating video series, in collaboration with Progressive Insurance®. The video series covers safety topics that all boaters need to be aware of for a worry-free day on the water.
In addition, the National Safe Boating Council offers a wide range of free, ready-to-use resources for industry stakeholders. These include downloadable graphics, public service announcements, and safety tip sheets through their Safe Boating Campaign—ideal for reinforcing life jacket use and general safe boating habits. Resources can be accessed at safeboatingcampaign.com.
