Below are links to websites dedicated to boating safety. Sites maintained by non-profit organizations as well as the Coast Guard and Coast Guard Auxiliary offer a wealth of safety knowledge to any concerned boater!
Several of these links are unique to the Potomac River. Please also note state-specific links for the rules and regulations governing boating on District, Maryland, and Virginia waters. Boaters should make an effort to become familiar with the boating rules of each jurisdiction.
