Tow Bee Boating Safety Tips: Designate a Sober Skipper!

Tow Bee wants all boaters to know that a fun day on the water shouldn’t have to end in tragedy. Did you know that alcohol is the leading known contributing factor in fatal boating accidents? Even just one drink can impair boaters, especially considering the effects from the sun, wind and movement of the boat.

Boat operators must be clear-headed and able to make quick decisions to avoid collisions while on the water. Consuming alcohol or taking drugs, even some over-the-counter or prescription medicines can decrease reaction time and the ability to think clearly.

That’s why it’s vital that every time you head out on the water, you designate a Sober Skipper to take the helm. You wouldn’t head out for a night on the town without a designated driver, so don’t leave the dock without a Sober Skipper!
