As we enter the peak maritime season here in the Virgin Islands, the rise in boat traffic and social activities makes it more important than ever to make sober decisions while at the helm and onboard your vessel. Let’s take the necessary steps to ensure we stay S.A.F.E. during this busy time.

Sober captain means everyone gets home safely.

Alert lookout means seeing danger before it becomes an accident.

Fatigue combined with alcohol makes for dangerous decisions and delayed reactions.

Emergencies can be avoided. Alcohol turns an emergency into a disaster.
