Boating in the San Francisco Bay with Northern California Insurance

San Francisco has a lot to offer residents. From world class museums to cable cars to the Golden Gate Bridge, there is always something to see and do. The San Francisco Bay is always a great crowd pleaser. Individuals with their own watercraft can take a turn around the water and see the city from a whole new perspective. Part of using hydro-vehicles responsible is making sure they are covered by Northern California insurance. The other part is learning how to operate your boat, yacht or jet ski safely.

• You, your crew, and your passengers should all wear life jackets at all times. Even if you consider yourself a pretty good swimmer, it is always best to go the extra mile to be safe.
• Never operate watercraft when under the influence of alcohol, prescription pills, or recreational drugs.
• Do not use the vessel during severe storms. It is easy to lose control upon the rough waves and during lighting strikes that accompany bad weather.
• Similar to a car, boat owners should complete a skills and safety course to ensure they have the necessary knowledge to be responsible operators. Upon completion, you may be able to apply for a boating license.
