PARTICIPATE IN NATIONAL SAFE BOATING WEEK

Mark your calendar for May 16-23, 2025

National Safe Boating Week is held every year during the week before Memorial Day to reach and educate boaters at the start of the summer boating season. This year, the Sea Tow Foundation is amplifying the Sober Skipper message with the release of the 3rd video in our Sober Skipper: Why It Matters series.  Each day during National Safe Boating Week, the Sea Tow Foundation will be sharing a video boating safety tip on social media from Life by the Bow and Mike Iaconelli, the stars of the first two videos in our series. Their tips will spread awareness of ways to be safer on the water and we encourage you to share them. 

We are excited to announce the star of our newest video, Thomas Herman, a professional wakeboarder. Thomas explains why having a Sober Skipper at the helm is so important to him and why he always rides sober as well in his video. Make sure to check it out here
