Take the Sober Skipper Pledge |
Our goal at the Sea Tow Foundation is to eliminate Boating Under the Influence (BUI) by encouraging all boaters to make the safe and smart choice to be or to designate a sober skipper before every boating trip.. BUI is against the law in every state and territory and in all sizes and types of boats whether they have a motor or not. . The wind, vibration, noise, and the sun that you experience while boating can impair balance, coordination and concentration all on their own. Adding alcohol or drugs intensifies these effects.. Alcohol use is the leading contributing factor in fatal boating accidents every year, but if every boat were to have a Sober Skipper at the helm, these accidents and deaths would be 100% preventable. To find out more and for tools and free resources, visit Sober Skipper Campaign. BY TAKING THE SOBER SKIPPER PLEDGE YOU AGREE TO: 1. Safely operate any boat, no matter the size, without consuming alcohol or drugs. 2. Be responsible for your boat and all of your passengers. 3. Be or designate a sober skipper for every boating trip. |
