5 Tips for Boating
on Busy Waterways

Have the channels seemed crowded lately?
You’re not imagining things. People are flocking to boating for freedom and fun, filling our waterways with more experienced captains and more novice boaters. With this unprecedented level of traffic on the water, it’s up to each and every one of us to share the water in a responsible, safe manner. Check out our specially curated list of tips for navigating busy waterways.



Tricks of the trade

Docking in Windy Conditions

You’re on the water when a thunderstorm pops up
out of nowhere. Being a smart boater, you pack up
and seek shelter on land. By the time you arrive at
the dock, the winds have picked up significantly. Docking in windy conditions can be intimidating,
but with our expert docking tips, you can handle it confidently and safely.

Snacks for Staying Hydrated

Getting dehydrated on a
boat isn’t just ironic, it can
be dangerous. Step up your hydration game by stocking the cooler with treats that pack a liquid punch.

Snacks like oranges,
grapes, watermelon, cantaloupe, mango, grape tomatoes, carrots, and cucumber are all great ways to sneak extra hydration into your next boat outing.
