National Safe Boating Week
2017 NATIONAL SAFE BOATING WEEK • May 16th-22nd 2020
The North American Safe Boating Campaign wants
to get something off its chest and onto yours.
 | A LIFE JACKET! Life jackets can be the determining factor between life and death in many boating safety accidents. Each year, on average, 700 people die in boating-related accidents, 8 out of every 10 victims were not wearing a life jacket. According to Virgil Chambers, Executive Director of the National Safe Boating Council, "Thousands of people would be alive today had they taken the simple precaution of wearing a life jacket when they went out on the water." |
National Safe Boating Week | May 18-24, 2019: The Safe Boating Campaign kicks off the weekend before Memorial Day with National Safe Boating Week and continues throughout the year with various events and activities. Find Partners in your local community who support the Safe Boating Campaign and find out how you can get involved in outreach events.
