Boating offers freedom, fun, and relaxation, but it also comes with a shared responsibility to keep the water safe and enjoyable for everyone. Knowing how to handle your vessel is only part of it, as proper etiquette plays an equally important role.

Rising fuel costs can make a day on the water more expensive than it needs to be, but there are practical steps every boater can take to stretch their fuel dollars.

Choosing the right boat storage method, combined with preventative maintenance, is essential for preserving both appearance and function. From cleaning away salt residue to applying protective coatings and keeping the vessel shielded from humidity, each step plays a role in reducing long-term damage.
