Knowledge is part of
the experience.
Boating safety is not about taking the fun out of the experience. It is about understanding the water, knowing what belongs aboard, and becoming more capable before you need that knowledge.

A Vessel Safety Check is free and educational. A trained U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary vessel examiner can help identify whether the appropriate safety equipment is aboard.
You don't need a boat to enjoy the lake
Kayaks, paddleboards, and other small recreational craft can be an approachable way to build confidence on the water. Start slowly, learn the safety regulations, and enjoy the water.
Don’t know where to go?
Start with the water and see where it leads. Discover places to eat, stay, explore and spend time along the shore.
