Boat safely this summer!

With the hot days of summer come exciting days spent on lakes and waterways throughout the world. Unfortunately, all too often the fun turns dangerous, and sometimes fatal, when alcohol and boating mix.

Just as with driving a car, alcohol and piloting a watercraft do not mix. A quick reaction time and constant attention are required to have a safe and fun time on a watercraft. In fact, should you be caught operating a watercraft under the influence of alcohol, you can be cited for Boating Operating Under the Influence, which is a Class Two misdemeanor.

Arizona Boating can be fun and exciting when it is done safely. Besides avoiding alcohol while piloting watercraft, you can enhance your probability of a safe trip by taking a watercraft safety course. Unlike with automobiles, there is no education requirement for piloting a watercraft. It turns out though, that educated boaters are seventy percent less likely to be involved in a watercraft accident than uneducated boaters.

If you want to be extra safe, you can take Boating Education Online courses by following the link. You can also take classes in person if you would prefer that.

Boating sober and getting your Boating Education Online is a great way to have a safe and fun summer on the waterways.
