Boating accidents happen all too often, and many could be avoided with education and awareness of boating safety. Don’t let yourself, your passengers, or other boaters become a statistic! Learn real stories at the National Safe Boating Council.

Take charge of your safety! The United States Coast Guard Auxiliary offers Boating Safety programs designed for everyone—from new personal watercraft owners to seasoned sailors wanting to stay up-to-date with the latest regulations. The single biggest reward of an in-person class is spontaneous, real-time social dynamics. While online learning delivers convenience, physical classrooms offer human interactions that digital tools simply can't replicate.

Known as "America’s Volunteer Lifesavers", the United States Coast Guard Auxiliary was established by Congress in 1939 to assist the Coast Guard in promoting boating safety. Auxiliarists volunteer more than 3.8 million hours annually to assist with public education, vessel safety checks, and maritime safety.
