Formula Boats has signaled its intent to support the Marine University boating safety initiatives by purchasing 1,000 additional Boater101 Manuals for distribution to its consumers. This is the second year the boat manufacturer has implemented this important program.

The inclusion of these manuals is an unmistakable indicator of Formula’s commitment to educate boaters before they hit the water. This proactive approach seeks to minimize the possibility of boating accidents and related injury by utilizing the eagerness associated with owning a new vessel. Still, Formula’s efforts do not stop there.

In continuing to educate boaters, Formula also includes Boater101 books with warranty transfers and marketing packages to ensure that each of their customers has access to the best in boating-safety resources.

Scott Porter, President of Formula Boats says, “In addition to providing all of our new Formula clients with one of the Boater 101 course manuals, we also invite them to study the manual’s safety information, go on the Marine University website to learn more about their particular state’s safety and environmental issues, and to take the online test.”

Beyond providing their clients access to the comprehensive Boater101 manual, Formula continues to promote water safety by maintaining their long-held Gold Level sponsorship of Marine University. Recognizing the importance of safe boating practices, Formula has actively joined other leading marine industry companies in promoting Boater101, an industry-endorsed boating safety education course that provides tailored instruction to consumers through boat dealerships and through an interactive online course.

Susan Engle, President of Marine University says, “Our partnership with Formula introduces consumers to the basic boating knowledge they need to operate a boat, making them more confident boaters and ultimately lifetime boaters.”

Marine University is the only boater safety education course developed by the marine industry for boaters.

Boater101 offers boaters the opportunity to receive up to a 10% discount on their boat insurance and may meet state boating safety requirements in their state.
