Springtime boating safety
April 11, 2023
With spring and warmer weather now with us, the team at Haven Harbour Marina Resorts would like to remind our patrons and guests to always boat responsibly, and to keep the below springtime safety tips front of mind.
- Ensure life jackets are of proper fit, check the manufacturer ratings for your size and weight, and always make sure that the life jacket is correctly zipped and/or buckled when in use.
- Restock your first aid kit as needed, taking time to replace any items that have expired. Confirm that all battery-powered devices are equipped with fresh batteries and in operable condition.
- Make sure you have two communications devices that will work when wet – like a VHF radio and emergency locator beacon. Other equipment to double-check include your trailer and tire pressure, lights and tie downs.
- Schedule a vessel safety check to ensure your spring readiness, and consider enrolling in a boating safety course to brush up or learn new skills.
For questions, contact us at (410) 778-6697 or email@havenharbour.com. Be prepared and safe this season, and happy boating!
