About this user

Alaska has over 33,000 miles of coastline (more than the entire "lower 48" states put together), over 3,000 rivers, and more than 3 million lakes. From power boating and air boating to rafting, kayaking, and canoeing, Alaska's boating opportunities are as superlative as they are diverse. We certainly use boats to enjoy our world-class outdoor recreation resources, but our residents also use boats as an important means of transportation, and to support subsistence. Most of the state's 621,000 residents live in our 10 largest cities, but many others live miles from the road system in towns and villages spread along the coast and our interior rivers and lakes. Alaskans are truly "lifestyle" boaters.

Unfortunately, we also have one of the highest non-commercial boating fatality rates in the nation. Accident statistics reveal that 3 out of 4 boating fatalities were the result of capsizing or falling overboard into cold water, where the boater was not wearing a life jacket. Most had not taken a single boating safety course.

In response, the Alaska Office of Boating Safety was established within the Division of Parks and Outdoor Recreation. In close cooperation with our partners, we provide boating education programs that promote safe, enjoyable boating in Alaska.
