SIMPLE AND HIGHLY EFFECTIVE


Professional mariners and the U.S. Coast Guard have used pre-departure checklists for years. Why? Because it systematizes your boating day and can help you avoid silly mistakes and bigger problems. I assure you that reviewing this simple checklist before getting underway will be immensely helpful for the new boater or the seasoned alike.





About Capt. Chris

I'm a licensed Captain, an on-water Boating Instructor with the National Safe Boating Council, and a certified Coxswain with the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary. I'm also a certified Boat Crewman with the U.S. Coast Guard and regularly serve at my local small boat station on the West Coast of Florida. I've been boating since I was 16 and over the past 38 years have explored just about all of Florida and The Bahamas and other locations along the East Coast of the U.S. I also founded "Lazy Bunz" water floats and the website, "Lazy Locations". I bring my passion for boating and my wealth of knowledge to you to help you become better and safer on the water.



Teaming Up With "The Qualified Captain"


The Qualified Captain is the most influential boating resource in existence. Their Instagram page is a blend of information, entertainment, and education.

I am honored to partner with them to help educate and inform boaters to become safer and more proficient on the water.
