Vermont Boat Safety – Boating & Marinas

VTboating Essential safety tips for safe boating. Always wear your life jacket. Falling overboard into cold water will take the breath away from the strongest swimmer. Just remember that life jackets only work when you are wearing them. Read and obey your boat’s safety limit.

Distribute weight evenly throughout the boat. Standing in a boat accounts for many spills overboard.
Remain Seated. It is best to remain seated unless absolutely necessary.
Be aware of the weather before heading out and especially aware while on the water.
Never drink alcohol while boating. A typical day in a boat without drinking can impair reaction time as much as being legally drunk.
Leave a float plan. Tell someone when and where you are going, and when you expect to return. It is better to tell a loved one who will express more concern if you don’t return on time.
