Discover Boating Promotes Safe Boating Practices this Labor Day Weekend

With a busy boating weekend ahead for millions of Americans, Discover Boating is advising all boaters to keep safety top of mind and calling on boating community stakeholders to help promote tips to #RecreateResponsibly while boating.
