10 Must-Know Tips for Boating with Kids: Keep Your Family Safe and Happy on the Water!

Welcome to our KZread video on "10 Tips for Boating with Kids"! If you're planning to take your kids out on the water for some family fun, there are some important things to consider to ensure everyone stays safe and has a great time. In this video, we'll be sharing our top 10 tips for boating with kids.
Tip #1: Frozen grapes: Bringing along frozen grapes can be a refreshing and healthy snack option for kids on a hot day while boating. Staying hydrated and well-fed is important for safety and enjoyment while on the water.
Tip #2: Swim time: Swimming is a great way for kids to stay cool in the hot summer sun while boating. It's important to take steps to ensure they don't get overheated or dehydrated.
Tip #3: Tandem surfing. With the proper boat, you can tandem wakesurf with your child. It can be a fun and exhilarating experience, but it's important to ensure that they are properly outfitted with safety gear and that you are both experienced and skilled enough to engage in this activity safely.
Tip #4: Two life jacket system: This tip is an important cold water safety consideration for boating with kids. Kids are more likely to complain about a wet and uncomfortable life jacket, so having an extra one on hand can help keep everyone safe and dry.
Tip #5: Head home early: Boating with kids can be tiring and overwhelming, so it's important to be aware of their limits and to head home before everyone becomes too tired or uncomfortable.
Tip #6: Toddler swing or hammock: Providing a safe and secure space for young children on the boat, such as a toddler swing or hammock, can help them stay entertained and comfortable while also minimizing the risk of injury.
Tip #7: Stinky life jacket fix: Ensuring that life jackets are properly cleaned and aired out can help prevent odors and make them more comfortable to wear.
Tip #8: Rope duty: Teaching kids to help with rope duty can help them learn important boating skills while also giving them a sense of responsibility.
Tip #9: Uncrustable sandwiches: Having easy-to-eat and nutritious snacks on hand, such as Uncrustable sandwiches, can help keep kids well-fed and satisfied while boating.
Tip #10: Flag duty: Assigning a child to be in charge of the flag can be a fun and engaging task while also helping to ensure safety on the boat.

    Just found your channel and just want to drop in and say I really like these boating with kids tips!! For me the food ideas (uncrustables and frozen grapes) were most helpful. Though we don’t have a wake boat, we share in your excitement of being out on the water here in TN! We just purchased our first pontoon last summer for $16,000. My husbands an electrician and we financed 😂😂😂

    Awesome. That is super close and convenient. When I was there I would go around Lenoir City or on Tellico Lake by Vonore. Super green and beautiful out there. You live in a great area 🤘.

    I see some not good stuff tho, the rope thing is dangerous, and the uncrustables is a bad idea on a boat, but the other stuff is pretty good

    Not to mention having children on flag duty. What a shame they lost their daughter.
