At the Sea Tow Foundation™, we're dedicated to ensuring that every boating trip is as safe as possible. That’s why we're thrilled to announce our new video series, "Sober Skipper™: Why it Matters." This initiative plays a crucial role in our efforts to prevent Boating Under the Influence (BUI), emphasizing the importance of designating a Sober Skipper for every boating trip through the video series.

The premiere episode, "Sober Skipper: Why it Matters to Life by the Bow," features boating influencers Clay and Stephanie Cowart from Life by the Bow, an online channel focused on boating, travel, lifestyle and safety content. This video highlights their deep love for boating and the importance of the Sober Skipper message in protecting families and ensuring a safe and enjoyable time on the water. Through their story, they emphasize how one decision can impact the safety and well-being of all boaters.

With the launch of the series, the Sea Tow Foundation is raising awareness about the importance of designating a Sober Skipper through the voices of wakeboarding enthusiasts, seasoned anglers, and other members of the boating community. Each video brings to life the stories of individuals who prioritize boating safety to ensure that time spent on the water doesn’t turn into a tragedy.

Boating Under the Influence is the leading cause of fatal boating accidents and is entirely preventable, making this campaign especially crucial. Targeted toward boaters, the series tackles the urgent need to shift behaviors and perceptions surrounding alcohol consumption on the water.

Join us in watching "Sober Skipper: Why it Matters to Life by the Bow" and stay tuned for more videos in this series. Together, we can spread the message that being a Sober Skipper is not just a personal choice—it’s a responsibility to the entire boating community.

Take the Sober Skipper pledge today.
