Boating season can bring out the best in Kentucky residents, especially those residing around Fisherville, KY. At TruePoint Insurance, we understand the water life and enjoy it with our clients. While we all enjoy days and afternoons out on the water, we also want you to remember three tips to stay safe while out on the water. 

Keep Your Life Jacket On

It is not uncommon to travel the Kentucky waters and catch boaters riding without their life jackets. In the event of an accident, the riders could potentially be thrown from the boat. With a life jacket, they will surface to the water and be able to breathe while getting to safety. 

Keep the Crowding Minimal

Each boat comes with a weight limit and a capacity amount based upon its size. A common issue that happens with boaters in Kentucky is overloading the boat with either people, supplies, or both, causing it to flip from the stress it is under. If you are planning to use your boat for fishing and hauling equipment, make sure sure that you do not carry too many people out with you. 

Leave the Alcohol Onshore

While you are operating your boat, you should not be drinking. The pressure and influence to drink while operating the boat are limited if it never comes onto the boat with your passengers. Leave the alcohol onshore and stock your boat instead with fresh bottled water and sports drinks to keep everyone hydrated while enjoying the water. 

Top it Off with Boat Insurance

One of the best ways to secure your boat, however, is to have boat insurance should you find yourself in an accident while out on the water. If you live in the vicinity of Fisherville, KY, call our agents at TruePoint Insurance for more information on our policy offerings.
