One effective practice to reduce the risk of a boating accident is to ensure that all passengers and the operator are wearing life jackets at all times. Additionally, maintaining a safe speed, especially in crowded or narrow areas, and keeping a proper lookout for obstacles and other vessels are crucial. Regularly checking weather conditions and ensuring the vessel is well-maintained also contribute to safer boating experiences. Lastly, taking a boating safety course can enhance knowledge of safe navigation and emergency procedures.

Depending on the heat and degree of activity, it is advised to drink at least 8 to 10 ounces of water every 15 to 20 minutes when boating in warm weather.

Maintaining hydration helps avoid dehydration, heat exhaustion, and fatigue, all of which can affect one's ability to make decisions and be safe when boating. Never skip a glass of water, even if you're not thirsty.
