Helpful Tips For Safe Boating

One of the most fun (and busiest) weekends on the water is here. So we’ve teamed up with the United States Coast Guard to bring you helpful tips for safe boating and remind boaters and passengers of the dangers of boating under the influence. Just like in a car, alcohol and boating do not mix.

Operation Dry Water will be in effect this 4th of July weekend, with law enforcement on heightened alert for boaters operating their vessels while under the influence.
