Boating safety is essential for preventing accidents and ensuring a fun experience on the water. Always wear a life jacket and ensure that all passengers have one too. Familiarize yourself with the boating regulations in your area, including speed limits and no-wake zones. Before heading out, check the weather conditions and ensure your boat is in good working order. Carry essential safety equipment, such as a first aid kit, flares, and a fire extinguisher. It's also important to have a float plan that informs someone on land about your trip details.
