At the Sea Tow Foundation™, we believe that every day on the water should be a safe one. That’s why we’re excited to share the next installment in our "Sober Skipper™: Why It Matters" video series, featuring professional bass angler Mike Iaconelli. As a widely recognized figure in competitive fishing, Mike knows that boating safety isn’t just about following the rules—it’s about making the right choices before ever leaving the dock.

In "Sober Skipper: Why It Matters to Mike Iaconelli," he shares his perspective on why designating a Sober Skipper is essential for every fishing trip. Whether you’re a tournament angler or a weekend hobbyist, being responsible, and staying sober at the helm, can mean the difference between a great day of fishing and a tragic accident. Mike emphasizes that just like responsible driving, responsible boating requires focus, awareness and a clear mind.

With this video series, the Sea Tow Foundation continues to highlight the importance of eliminating Boating Under the Influence (BUI). While BUI is one of the leading causes of fatal boating accidents, it is 100% preventable—and through stories like Mike’s, we’re working to change perceptions about alcohol consumption on the water.

The Sea Tow Foundation is proud to work with fishing pros, wakeboarders and boating enthusiasts who are committed to safety. Each video in this series serves as a powerful reminder that being a Sober Skipper isn’t just about protecting yourself, it’s about looking out for your friends, family and everyone else on the water.
