Boating TIPS

Use Common Sense 

Operate at a safe speed and distance at all times (especially in crowded areas), stay alert and steer clear of other watercraft.

watch the Engine

Never allow passengers to board or exit your boat from the water when engines are on—or idling.

Mind the Weather

Always check local, route and destination weather and water conditions before departure and ensure it is safe to go out.

don't drink n' drive

Operating a boat while intoxicated is illegal in Texas. Designate a sober skipper before leaving the dock.

Slow Your Roll

When approaching a Dock or Marina, remember boats do not have breaks like an automobile and can be restricted in their ability to stop or turn.
