If your weekend involves plans to recreate on a boat, keep a few tips in mind to keep you and others safe.

Boat responsibly by staying sober and always wearing a life jacket. Staying sober is equally important when operating.

 

In Wisconsin, all boats must carry a U.S. Coast Guard-approved life jacket for each person on board, and children under 13 must wear one while underway on federally controlled waters. While state law doesn’t mandate wearing a life jacket for adults on most state waters, it is strongly recommended.
