Safety

#NeverBUI Media Kit

By

Boat Ed is striving to shine a spotlight on a major safety issue that’s sometimes taken lightly but can lead to very serious and, at times, deadly consequences—  boating while under the influence of alcohol.

According to the US Coast Guard, “alcohol use is the leading known contributing factor in fatal boating accidents”. With more boating accidents happening in July than in any other month, we hope to help bring awareness to the dangers of boating under the influence of alcohol this Summer.

During this anti operating under the influence campaign (#NeverBUI), which will span from June 19th - July 4th 2015, we will share a video answering the popular question, “Can I drink on a boat?” and spread facts and statistics warning against the dangers of boating under the influence via social media.

Please join us by sharing these posts to social media over the course of the two weeks:
