Safe Sea

07/24/2026

Between the favorable weather and the various events taking place, we expect this weekend to bring significantly higher-than-normal boater traffic across our service area.

We encourage members to double check all systems and supplies prior to heading out on the water; and speaking of water - be sure to drink plenty of it!

Stay Safe!

Every Boat Needs An Anchor - and you need to know how to properly use it!

When you call us for assistance, chances are you have no ability to control your vessel and you're at the mercy of the wind & tide.

Your anchor will need to be deployed in order to hold your position and keep you out of harms way.

Be sure to inspect the anchor & the line attached to it, and confirm you have the proper length of anchor line for the areas you plan on boating.

We practice what we preach! We often remind our members & followers on social media to inspect, test, and maintain all navigation and life-safety equipment aboard their vessels — and we do the same.

For us, it’s an ongoing process, not just something done at the start of the season. We remain ready to respond when the call comes in, and get the job done safely & swiftly.

PS: Part of your inspections should include confirming the status of your Safe Sea membership and saving our phone number on your cell phone: 401-295-8711
