Getting ready for boating season? This week, the annual Spring Aboard campaign reminds boaters about the importance of boater education. Many recreational boaters in Washington are required to complete an approved boating education course and carry a Washington State Boater Education Card. 

National and statewide boating accident statistics tell us that educated boaters are safer. Whether you cruise, sail, kayak, fish, or do yoga on a stand-up paddle board, you need to know the basics of boating safety. Register today!
