Busy Boating Weekends
Mark your calendars for June 3-11, 2023. National Boating and Fishing is the perfect excuse for getting on the water!

Plan a fishing day.

What better way to celebrate National Fishing and Boating Week than by actually going fishing? 

Whether a seasoned fisherman or a beginner, planning a fishing trip this week is a great way to enjoy the outdoors and celebrate your love of fishing and the water. You can plan a trip with a group of friends or family members or even sign up for a guided fishing trip with a local fishing charter.  

 

Attend a fishing or boat event.

Another great way to celebrate NFBW is by attending a fishing or boating event.  

Various events are held nationwide throughout the week, from fishing tournaments to boat shows, and there is something for everyone. Check your local listings for events near you and plan to attend one or more. 

Volunteer for a conservation project.

National Fishing and Boating Week is not just about having fun on the water.  

It’s also about awareness, conservation, and protecting our natural resources. One way to get involved is by volunteering for a conservation project. You can join a local conservation group or even organize a cleanup event in your community. These kinds of activities not only help keep our waters clean, but they also give back to the environment that we all love and enjoy. 

National Fishing & Boating Week
National Fishing and Boating Week is the ideal time to try something new on the water.

Try a new boating activity.

Maybe you’re an avid boater or a solo kayaker who enjoys the calm waters.  

Whatever your preference, it’s always fun to try something new. NFBW is the perfect time to try a new boating activity or water sport that you’ve never tried before. Whether you want to try paddleboarding, water skiing, or wakeboarding, there’s no better time to do it than during National Fishing and Boating Week. 

Attend a boating safety course.

Lastly, attending a boating safety course during NFBW is one of the best ways to celebrate the week.  

Not only will you learn about boating safety, but you’ll also be well-prepared for your next boating adventure. Most states require boaters to complete a boating safety course before operating a boat, and this course can help you avoid accidents and stay safe on the water. 

Raft up.

Attending a boating safety course during NFBW is one of the best ways to celebrate the week.  

Not only will you learn about boating safety, but you’ll also be well-prepared for your next boating adventure. Most states require boaters to complete a boating safety course before operating a boat, and this course can help you avoid accidents and stay safe on the water. 

Invite a friend on board.

We know it’s easy to get caught up in the moment, but operating a boat while intoxicated is illegal and dangerous.   

Since the busiest boating weekends often see an increase in incidents, you can steer clear, literally and figuratively, of the issues by assigning a designated captain. Toast a great day on the water with your friends and family when you’re back at the dock instead.  

Use this week to make the big purchase.

If your crew of friends wants to celebrate, but none of you have a boat of your own, it may be time for you to dive into boat buying.
