Boat and boating information and marine articles, info, discussion forums and much more.

Staying safe on the water is very simple. Failure to use your common sense while out on the water could put your life, and the lives of others in jeopardy.

Each year the Lifesavers Society of BC releases statistics on the number of drowning deaths. Last year along, a startling 85-90% of all people that died from drowning related incidents were males, and of that 40% of those deaths were attributed to boating incidents.

No matter how much boating experience you have, it is always a good idea to review boating safety tips before departing onto the water. Below is a list of safety tips:

- Always wear a lifejacket or personal floatation device.
- Avoid overloading your tube with too many passengers.
- Make sure to adhere to the max weight/seating capacity for your boat.
- Be aware of shorelines, buoys, or other objects or boats in the water.
- Never tow a tube from the wakeboard tower.
- Lastly: No drinking on the water.

The rules of the water have changed: make sure you have your boating licence and any other required documentation.

Remember, Be safe and have fun!
