 * EQUIPMENT RENTALS
   
   Your crew relies on you to have the essential safety equipment when you go
   boating – and that takes a reliable partner.

 * LIFE JACKET LOANER PROGRAM
   
   Every parent wants to make sure their child is as safe as possible, and that
   goes double for parents who take their kids on the water.

   The Kids Afloat Program gives local, US based nonprofits an opportunity to
   apply to purchase kid-sized life jackets at a discounted rate.

CLEAN BOATING

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 * CIGARETTE LITTER PREVENTION
   
   Boaters are keeping their butts out of the water - and we’re not talking
   about the kind in swim trunks.

 * MONOFILAMENT RECYCLING
   
   We have helped establish a network of over 2000 monofilament recycling bins
   to make proper disposal more accessible.

 * WATERWAY CLEANUP GUIDE
   
   A cleanup event is a great way to help show your commitment to the local
   community. Learn more.
