Personal Watercraft Insurance, Safety and Boat Insurance for Teen Boaters
Young adults involved in boating will of course want to venture out on the water with their friends, but parents need to ensure teens are educated about boating safety.
Just as with cars, teens can easily get carried away when boating. Drinking, overcrowding, failing to wear life jackets and horseplay can result in tragic – even fatal – events. Far too many are reported in the news across the United States every summer during the height of boating season.
Imparting a message about safe boating that will resonate with teenagers is a challenge. In many cases teenagers don’t worry about their immortality and some will act impulsively and imprudently, even ignoring boating regulations while they entertain and try to impress friends. Others who are more experienced and come from boating families may think they don’t have anything to learn and find themselves in situations beyond their abilities.
