Welcome to the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary Flotilla 08-01 Manatee's Recreational Boating Safety Outreach (RBS) page. We’re the part of the Auxiliary that works with other organizations to promote safe boating. Our mission along with the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary is dedicated to promoting safe boating on U.S. waterways by improving the knowledge, skills, and abilities of recreational boaters.

If you are interested in your business, or venue participating in Recreational Boating Safety Outreach, please do not hesitate to reach out to our flotilla staff officer for Recreational Boating Safety, George Rogers.

 FAQ:   Does your business or venue need to be involved in the boating industry to       participate as a Recreational Boating Safety partner?

Answer: No any place where you have the general public is a great place to display   information about boating safety. This includes but not limited to the following:

• Marine Dealers
• Boat sales and clubs
• Doctor's Offices
• Dentist's Offices
• Ophthalmologists' Offices
• Super Markets Pharmacy's
• And any other place you can think of......
