Boating Safety Videos

Boat On Course, educational boating safety videos from the National Safe Boating Council, teach basic navigation rules of boating. Watch at your own pace, and test your knowledge at the end of each video. Enjoy the boating lifestyle and remember that a safe boating experience is the best boating experience.

*Real boaters wear their favorite life jacket, and all of our boaters are real boaters. New technology has provided for inflatable belt-pack wear which may not always be visible in a video.
