Social Distancing + Boating
COVID-19 is forcing everyone to navigate uncharted waters, including boaters. Many people are wondering if they can go boating, who they can boat with, and where they can go once they leave the dock. Unfortunately, there is no simple answer as many states have issued stay-at-home orders, with some prohibiting outdoor recreation and recreational boating, and permitted in others.
We are in a public health crisis, and it is critical that guidance is followed. As responsible boaters, it is important to understand that the primary purpose of stay-at-home orders is to limit the spread of the virus. Risking unnecessary exposure is not just a hazard for you – it puts law enforcement, emergency responders, seniors, and vulnerable populations in danger.
If you are on the water, here are social distancing and boating safety tips.
