Improper boat safety accounts for many deaths and injuries each year, and in many of those cases, the problems were completely avoidable. For that reason, make sure that you and your family are properly trained and knowledgeable about both boat and water safety. With that in mind, the following are some rules to follow every time you venture to the marina.

First and foremost, every person aboard a boat must be wearing a high quality and properly fitted life jacket. There are a variety of brands available from Coleman life jackets to Mustang life jackets.

Also, never operate a boat under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Treat a boat like any motorized vehicle. You wouldn’t get behind the wheel of a car if you were drunk. So don’t get behind the wheel of a boat either.

And finally, carbon monoxide is a potentially fatal gas emitted by your boat. Don’t swim anywhere near the exhaust outlets, and make sure the boat is always properly ventilated. Carbon monoxide poisoning can sometimes seem like a simple case of seasickness, so if anyone on your boat begins to exhibit these symptoms, get them immediately to fresh air. Remember, it’s always better to be safe than sorry.
