One gut feeling. One life jacket. One decision that made all the difference.

After a sudden wind surge flipped her family’s boat, Briar was separated from her family and stranded in the water for more than an hour. Her life jacket kept doing its job when her strength ran out.

Now, she’s challenging the next generation to make life jacket wear a non-negotiable: Buckle up. Zip up. Own it.

Read Briar’s story and find out why she says safety will always be cooler than looking perfect for a picture: https://safeboatingcampaign.com/news/surviving-the-surge-why-ill-never-hit-the-water-without-a-life-jacket/

“So Others May Live!” 🚁🛟

Our Boat Crews undertake a variety of missions in tandem with the active duty Coast Guard! One of the ways in which we assist is by taking part in training evolutions with the AST Rescue Swimmers, allowing them to best fulfill their unofficial motto, So Others May Live.

One of the most critical pieces of gear you can have on your vessel is an anchor ⚓️

Not only can it be used to give you peace of mind while relaxing at the sandbar, it can also be used to stop your vessel from colliding while rocks in the event of engine failure.

Always inspect your gear before and after your boating adventures to prevent any unexpected surprises from holding you back.

⚠️ Illegal charter operations are UNSAFE!

CHECK THE CAPTAIN 📕

Illegal charter operations pose a significant risk to the safety of their passengers, their crew and the maritime community. Keep yourself safe and don't waste your time or money on an illegal charter!

👀 See a suspicious charter? Report it through the National Response Center at 1-877-24WATCH (1-877-249-2824).

For immediate danger to life or property, dial 911 or call the Coast Guard on VHF-FM Marine Channel 16.
