Would you bet $200?

May 14, 2026

That’s the cost of a fine for not having the required safety equipment in good working order on your boat. Let our volunteers help you beat the odds.

CanBoat Volunteers will check your boat for free… and if you have everything you need, you’ll get a Safety Inspection Sticker.

If you don’t have everything… they will explain exactly what you should have on board so you can be sure to win that bet.

And once you are boating safely, you’re not just saving $200 – you could be saving your life.
