Boating Awareness
Our Boating Awareness program uses boating enthusiast magazines and digital media to share highly targeted safety messages to boaters from the sources they trust most. With partners such as Boating, Cruising World, WakeBoarding and In-Fisherman, our oldest outreach program has delivered critical, life-saving information to boaters since 2011. Audience surveys show an ongoing culture shift toward safer boating thanks to this outreach program, including limiting alcohol consumption and increased use of life jackets.
