How to Boat
Every year, more and more families and individuals discover the pleasures of recreational boating. With the hours of enjoyment offered by this pastime, however, also comes a responsibility to learn the basics of boating safety, of boating terminology and the regulations that apply in your area. The first step in the safe enjoyment of recreational boating is to choose the appropriate boat for your purpose. Boats come in many different sizes and configurations; and even a personal watercraft such as a jetski is considered a motorboat - and is subject to the same rules and regulations as any other boat of its size. Take the time to learn the basics of boating. The knowledge you gain now - before you take to the water for years of boating enjoyment - will reward you and your family with safe, satisfying and pleasurable boating.
