According to U.S. Coast Guard data, 75% of boating deaths occurred on boats where operators had no boating safety instruction. As the nation’s largest and oldest volunteer recreational boating safety nonprofit, America’s Boating Club is continually advancing efforts to further safe boating practices, including through the promotion and enhancement of its Boat Live 365 campaign.

The Boat Live 365 is a comprehensive year-round campaign designed to education recreational boaters on a variety of safety topics including alcohol and drug use, carbon monoxide, life jackets, cold water immersion, propeller strikes and the importance of boating navigation, and curates a wide collection of educational resources in collaboration with industry partners to offer to individuals and groups free of charge. 

“As boaters head into refit season, brushing up on basic skills and expanding the breadth of your knowledge sets the stage for a great boating season,” says Craig Fraser, chief commander of America’s Boating Club. “Our goal with Boat Live 365 has always been to create a movement in the recreational boating world, spurring people to think every day about safer boating practices. Working with our partners and spreading the word to local communities, we can promote a safe-boating culture 365 days a year and help create a safer and more enjoyable experience for everybody.”
