RESOURCES FOR ALL PROGRAMS

The Sea Tow Foundation believes that boating can be safe AND fun. Our programs are flexible enough that anyone can utilize them, and we work with governmental agencies at the local, state and federal level; other non-profit organizations; businesses; civic groups; clubs; and many individuals. Our programs can be repeated year after year to help keep boating fun AND safe in your local community.

LIFE JACKET LOANER STATIONS INTERACTIVE MAP

The map above showcases life jacket loaner stations around the country. The YELLOW pins are locations where the Sea Tow Foundation has established life jacket loaner stations or replenished existing stations with life jackets through its grant. The PURPLE pins are other locations where other life jackets are available to be borrowed outside of the Sea Tow Foundation. Be sure to click on the pin to find more details about the host, location description and photos. The map is searchable by scrolling in or using the Magnifier icon on the top right by entering a zip code or city/state. You can also use the Tools icon in the upper left corner to get directions to any loaner station.

If you know about a life jacket loaner station and do not see it included on this map, please submit the location to the Sea Tow Foundation using the available form so we can make it visible to all boaters to find. The Sea Tow Foundation established this national database of life jacket loaner station locations in the U.S. through a project with the U.S. Coast Guard.

Go to our Life Jacket Loaner Program page to find out more.

Go to our Loaner Station Spotlight page to see great examples of successful loaner programs.
