The boats, equipment and services you sell help your customers enjoy the active and fun-filled lifestyle of recreational boating. As marine retailers – the people who really know boating – we have a responsibility to help provide the best boating experiences possible.

You can do that by ensuring that your customers’ boats are equipped with all the legally required safety equipment, as well as items that are good to have aboard and information to help the folks who trust your advice stay safe on the water.

Safety First Marine has been created for you. Whether you work in a boat dealership, chandlery, or an outdoor retailer’s boating or marine department, this program will help you become more knowledgeable, confident, and prepared to provide better service to your customers.

The Canadian Safe Boating Council (CSBC) – the agency responsible for promoting safe recreational boating across Canada – knows that boaters rely on your advice.

Core information that will make you a reliable source of boating safety advice is organized in Safety First Marine‘s online learning modules covering a variety of subjects. Within each module, you will find individual short segments on specific equipment, information and available services.
