Boating is a Dangerous Activity!

Motorboats are the #1 most dangerous water craft in the U.S. Please always use safe boating practices while renting equipment. Be aware of local laws regarding safe use.

TEXAS LAW SAYS:

boating safety certificate is required for all boaters who were born AFTER September 1st, 1993 when operating any motorized vessel, any wind-blown vessel over 14 feet in length, or any personal watercraft (PWC) on State waters in Texas.

Texas recognizes education from other states too. 

Did You Know?

Every 2-1/12 hours, someone is injured or killed in a boating accident. 

People are 6 times more likely to drown if they are not wearing a lifejacket. 

In 71% of boating deaths, the operater had NOT taken a boater safety education course.

#1 Cause of boating accidents is OPERATER INATTENTION, followed closely by intoxication, inexperience and speeding.

Tips to Stay Safe

ALWAYS have a good 'Lookout' passenger to help the driver navigate the water and watch for unexpected dangers.

ALWAYS wear a proper personal floation device (lifejacket) while underway. 

ALWAYS respect the water, and remain aware of surroundings/ people/ location. 

ALWAYS stay educated and up to date on saftey procedures and laws, AND bring your boater saftey certificate (if applicable) with you when underway.
