Out on the water? Leave the excuses on shore. Safe boating starts with smart choices. 🌊

Boating isn’t a game—don’t bet your life on luck. Excuses don’t float. Safety always wins. 🎲🚤

Storms can hit. Engines can fail. Accidents happen. But excuses? They sink fast. 🌧️🛥️

Before you launch, check your gear, check your crew, and check your excuses at the dock. 🧰🛟

🚤 We all know boats have personalities — and so do their names! Whether it’s something playful, adventurous, or meaningful, we want to hear the names of your boats. Let’s get a list of all the fun and creative names in the comments! #BoatingBC #BoatNames #SafeBoating

⚓️ Boat for Hope set sail on June 14th in honour of Rick Cassels, bringing an unforgettable day of pirate-themed adventure to kids with special needs and their families—all in support of Variety – the Children’s Charity. 🏴‍☠️ Boating BC was proud to be part of this incredible day.

🚤 Boating BC had a great time connecting with students at Eric Hamber Secondary’s career fair! 🎓 A big thank you to the Western Marine Community Coalition and all the marine industry pros who showed up to inspire the next wave of talent. 🌊⚓ #MarineCareers

You wouldn’t drive without a seatbelt—so why boat without a life jacket? ⛵🛑 #NoExcuses

The Whale-Safe Boating course was created to address a critical need: protecting both marine mammals and boaters—whether you're on a motorized or non-motorized vessel. WhaleSafeBoating.org.

Boaters need to be #WakeAware to ensure all lake users are able to safely and sustainably enjoy the water. Find more resources online here: bewakeaware.com youtube.com/watch?v=X3bYBP…

This National Drowning Prevention Week (July 20–26), let’s choose care over convenience: stay within arm’s reach, keep phones away, wear lifejackets even in calm water. Because when we stay alert, we keep each other safe. #SaferTogether tc.canada.ca/en/tc-stories/…

🌧️ WIND WARNING? Don’t risk it. Always check the marine forecast before you leave the dock. BC waters can change fast—especially on the coast. Stay ahead of the weather with @MarineWeatherBC and the Windy app!

🚨 Did you know? BC’s coastal waters average 10°C—even in summer! Cold water shock can be deadly. Always wear your PFD and never assume you’ll have time to grab it in an emergency.

🐋 Spotting marine life is magical—but keep your distance. In BC, it’s the law to stay at least 400m away from orcas and reduce speed in marine mammal zones. Let’s boat responsibly and protect our ocean neighbours.
