Boat Accident Facts for California
With over 800 miles of coastal shoreline and over 1,00 miles of water and shoreline in Northern California’s delta region, boating is a prized activity in the state. As the weather gets warmer, marinas around California became crowded with boaters, and boat accidents can occur.
In order to protect boaters, the state of California is rolling out a new boater registration card law. By 2025, everyone who operates a boat in the state will be required to possess this card. This law will assure that everyone who operates boats in California has completed a boat safety education course.
