Accidents can happen when you least expect it. Regardless of age or swimming ability, wearing a life jacket is crucial to staying safe on the water. 🌊 Suit up in a U.S. Coast Guard approved life jacket and ensure you and your passengers wear a life jacket on the water.

Alcohol can have a stronger effect when combined with sun, wind, and motion. If you choose to have a drink, drink responsibly and have a designated Sober Skipper before leaving the dock. Take the pledge to have a Sober Skipper at: bit.ly/soberskipperpledge
