Safe Boating Information
Safety is the #1 priority for you and your crew while you’re out on the water and getting a head start before your trip is now easier than ever. You will need a boater safety card to pilot any of our rentals.
You might need a boating license!
Depending on which state you live in, you might need a Boater Education Card before you head out onto the water. Various states have different laws and parameters regarding this. If you’re unsure, click the link below to check your state’s regulations.

Not certified yet?
If you have not completed a safe boating course yet, it’s not too late. You can either complete an in-person or online course from your state of residence (see links below), or you have the option to complete a classroom course from the United States Coast Guard Auxiliary or United States Power Squadron.
Don’t forget your crew!
Many captains also find it handy to have their crew review a safety course before their voyage. These courses are a great way to get everyone to start thinking about the trip in advance and you will find that they make for safer boating as well. Many of the online courses are free to review, easy to read, include interesting illustrations and videos and even offer practice tests free of charge.
