1. Safety
The following section is a general outline of boating safety requirements and
recommendations. For complete details on boating safety procedures, please
consult USCG (visit www.uscgboating.org) and/or Transport Canada
(visit www.tc.canada.ca) guidelines.
Owner / Operator’s Responsibility
Safety is the first priority when it comes to boating. The operator of a vessel has
a responsibility for the safety of all passengers on board. The following are some
general recommendations as it relates to fulfilling your responsibility of being safe
out on the water:
• Ensure all passengers on board are equipped with an approved United States
Coast Guard (USCG) or Transport Canada (as applicable) Personal Flotation
Device (PFD).
• Ensure compliance with all applicable laws and regulations regarding the
operation of your boat and the required safety equipment that must be on board
in the jurisdiction of operation. Note that there may be additional requirements if
your boat is being operated commercially rather than recreationally.
• Follow navigational rules, and obey the “Rules of the Road”.
• Complete an approved North American boating safety course through the
USCG, Transport Canada, U.S./Canadian Power Squadron, or equivalent. Visit
www.boatus.org or tc.canada.ca for information on available courses.
• Familiarize yourself with any licensing requirements in the jurisdiction where
your boat is being operated. Do not allow your boat to be operated by anyone
not appropriately licensed.
• Familiarize yourself with the features, functions, limitations, handling and
performance of your vessel.
• Always travel at a safe speed. Do not accelerate, slow down or turn too quickly.
• Familiarize yourself with the waterways you intend to travel with the aid of
nautical charts. Pay particular attention to water depths and underwater
obstructions.
• Pay attention to your surroundings while underway and be aware of
obstructions. Always be cognizant of people, objects and structures in the water.
• Have passengers board the vessel one at a time by stepping or climbing in using
available step zones and while taking care for potentially slippery surfaces.
• Do not overload the vessel with passengers or gear
• Have weight (gear and passengers) distributed equally throughout the vessel
when loading.
• Ensure passengers on board are following safety procedures. Brief passengers
on location and use of safety equipment.
• Ensure passengers are not sitting anywhere on a boat not specifically designed
as a seat. When the boat is underway all passengers should remain seated.
• Check the local weather forecast before your outing and while boating. If you
are caught in rough weather conditions, use extra precaution (reduce speed,
store loose gear, head for nearest safe refuge, etc.)
• Avoid boating in foggy weather conditions. If you are caught in foggy conditions
and you cannot anchor or moor to wait for fog to dissipate, take bearings, log
your course and lower your speed since visibility will be reduced.
