National Safe Boating Week — May 16–22, 2026

National Safe Boating Week reminds everyone to stay safe and prepared while enjoying time on the water. Whether boating, fishing, kayaking, or paddleboarding, safety should always come first. Always wear a properly fitted life jacket, check weather conditions before leaving, and ensure your boat carries the required safety equipment. Operators should remain alert, follow navigation rules, and never boat under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Taking a boating safety course is also a great way to improve knowledge and confidence on the water. Safe boating helps protect you, your passengers, and everyone sharing the waterways this season.
