Operating a boat with the motors running while individuals are swimming or engaging in water activities can pose serious risks. By turning off the motors, we create a safer environment, minimizing the chance of accidents or injuries.

Having your cell phone easily accessible while boating is of utmost importance for your safety and peace of mind. We strongly encourage all our guests at Polson Boat Rentals to keep their cell phones within reach throughout their boating adventure.

Cell phones serve as a valuable communication tool in case of emergencies or unexpected situations on the water.

Being attentive to your surroundings allows you to identify and avoid any potential risks or obstacles that may arise. This includes keeping an eye out for other boaters, swimmers, or objects in the water. By staying alert, you can proactively navigate and make informed decisions to ensure the safety of yourself and others.

When it comes to boating, it's important to remember that boats do not have brakes. Unlike vehicles on land, boats rely on other means to control their speed and maneuverability. This understanding is essential for a safe and enjoyable boating experience.

Instead of relying on brakes to slow down or stop, boats use throttle control and steering techniques. Decreasing the throttle gradually reduces the speed of the boat, allowing for a controlled deceleration. Stopping can be achieved by using reverse. It's important to become familiar with the throttle controls and practice using them effectively.
