It’s National Safe Boating Week

National Safe Boating Week (NSBW) is this week. The event is meant to remind boaters to brush up on boating safety skills and prepare for the summer boating season. This observance week is the annual kick-off of the Safe Boating Campaign, a global awareness effort that encourages boaters to make the most of their boating adventure by being responsible.

Prior to the May 18 kick-off, industry partners participated in Wear Your Life Jacket at Work Day. Hosted by the National Safe Boating Council, this annual event is a fun, educational way to heighten life jacket awareness and highlight the various styles just prior to the launch of the Safe Boating Campaign.

Industry partners are encouraged to get involved by sharing boating safety content with customers and networks. In addition to Safe Boating Campaign’s National Safe Boating Week toolkit, the following organizations offer a host of resources to help you spread the word about safe and responsible boating:
