Easter Boat Safety

Community Engagement Advisor from Greater Wellington Regional Council

If you're planning to enjoy the long weekend with some recreational boating, we've got some top tips!

As we’re going into colder weather it becomes more important to keep safety a top priority. Did you know that in water, the body loses heat 20 to 30 times faster than it does in air! 😲 We encourage boaties to remember these five simple precautions:

• Wear your lifejacket
• Take two waterproof ways to call for help
• Check the marine weather forecast
• Avoid alcohol
• Be a responsible skipper

And remember, if in doubt, don’t go out 🐟
