Boating Safety:

As we get closer to the start of boating season,  We would like to remind everyone to be prepared and have the correct safety equipment on board. Having the correct safety equipment on your boat is essential for ensuring the safety and well-being of everyone on board.

Proper safety gear, such as life jackets, flares, first aid kits, fire extinguishers, and emergency signaling devices, can make all the difference in preventing accidents and responding effectively in an emergency. Being prepared with the right equipment not only complies with legal requirements but also provides peace of mind, knowing you're ready to handle unexpected situations and protect those you care about while enjoying the water.  Check the link below to ensure you have the right equipment for the size of you boat.
