Summer Boating Season Is in Full Swing: So Far, Has it Been Good for You? Taking a BoatUS Foundation online boating safety course can make your boating better and safer ANNAPOLIS, Md., July 12, 2023 -- Summer boating season is in full swing and you’ve been enjoying your time on the water. Has it all been good so far? Maybe you’ve found yourself in a situation where, perhaps, you felt less-than-confident behind the wheel, or simply got a sense that something didn’t feel safe. The BoatUS Foundation for Boating Safety and Clean Water has the fix for that: Taking a free online boating safety course can help make you feel good behind the helm – prepared, more confident, and able to handle situations that pop up. If that’s not a good enough reason, the U.S. Coast Guard reports that 74% of boating fatalities occur on boats where the boat operator did not have boating safety instruction. Recognized by the U.S. Coast Guard and approved by NASBLA for 36 state boating license agencies, the Foundation’s free boating safety course allows you to start and stop at any time, fitting into your busy schedule. When completed, you may print your state’s boating safety education certificate. More than 2.3 million
