How to Improve Your Boat Safety This Summer

When summer starts to roll around this year, it’s easy for boat enthusiasts to get excited about the warmer months. But just because you haven’t been on the water for a little while doesn’t mean that the water has gotten any safer. See how you can better your odds this year from The Insurance Outfit if you’re hoping to have a steady season without any drama. 

Plan and Plan Again 

The best way to keep yourself from a potential disaster is by putting in the time before you ever set sail — either literally or figuratively. So make sure you have your boat thoroughly checked out by an expert before taking your family out. Even brand-new boats have a tendency to atrophy when they’re not in use, so never assume that your boat is in the same shape it was when you first put it away. You should also have a set emergency plan that should be practiced at least a few times before starting the season. The more repetition, the more likely it is everyone will follow the plan, even if they’re in a panic at the time.
