Wear a life jacket and don't get close to the edge.
If it is a small boat and you are not confident of your ability to swim, you can wear your life jacket at all times, which will keep you afloat if you fall into the water. Avoid leaning out over the edge of the boat. Be aware of the boat's balance; if everybody stands on the same side of the boat at the same time, that can cause the boat to tip over. In case of any emergency which may arise, remain calm and follow instructions.

What to do if your boat turns over?
If your boat turns over, stay calm and assess the situation. If you are wearing a life jacket, cling to it or the boat for buoyancy. If the boat is capsized but not submerged, try to stay with it, as it provides better visibility and support. Signal for help if possible, and wait for rescue or attempt to right the boat if it's safe to do so.

Is it safe to stay in a boat during a tsunami?
In very deep, open water, tsunamis are often undetected by ships that they pass beneath. That's the safe way to be in a boat during a tsunami. Near shore, where the water becomes much shallower, boats can be bad places to be, as the wave-front rears above the surface. If you had adequate warning that a tsunami was approaching, one way to stay safe would be to get in your (fast) boat and get out to deep water. Otherwise, run inland as fast as you can.
What should you do if your boat cap sizes?
If your boat capsizes, stay calm and assess the situation. If it's safe, try to get back on the boat or stay with it, as it provides buoyancy. If you can't, swim to safety or signal for help while keeping your head above water. Always wear a life jacket to enhance your chances of survival.
What should you do if your small open boat capszies?

Keep your head above water and use your life jacket to stay afloat. Remember to conserve energy and remain as visible as you can until rescue arrives.
What should you do when your boat capsizes but remains floating upside down?
If your boat capsizes but remains floating upside down, stay calm and assess the situation. Try to ensure that everyone is accounted for and safe. If possible, swim to the nearest side and attempt to right the boat by pushing or pulling on the hull, or use the boat's flotation devices for support. If rescue is not immediately possible, stay close to the boat for stability and visibility while waiting for help.
What is the best course of action if you see a thunderstorm approaching in boat?
If you see a thunderstorm approaching while on a boat, the best course of action is to head to shore immediately, if it's safe to do so. Ensure all passengers are wearing life jackets and secure loose items on the boat. If you cannot reach shore in time, find a safe anchorage, turn off the engine, and stay low in the boat to avoid being a target for lightning. Avoid touching metal objects and stay away from the sides of the vessel.
