2025 Boating Safety Calendar
Social Media
Coordinate your monthly boating safety efforts with our suggested social media posts. Pair with beautiful, high resolution photos from the National Safe Boating Council. We’ve included a few sample posts and captions below! Follow us at @BoatingCampaign on Facebook, Instagram (official NSBC account), or X for more content ideas.
January Caption Sample: Dress properly for the weather, always wear layers, and bring an extra set of clothes in case you get wet. Remember, dress for the water temperature, not the air temperature.
May Caption Sample: Life is good. Wear a life jacket.
September Caption Sample: There’s nothing like fall boating! Life jacket? Check. Canine companion? Check. A perfect day on the water? Happening now!
Caption Sample: Set the example, wear your life jacket. Come home safe, wear your life jacket. #WearIt. For her.
Caption Sample: When you #WearIt, you’re not just wearing it to protect yourself. You’re wearing it to protect your loved ones, to assure them that you’ll come home safe, and to set an example for them. Always remember to #WearIt.
Caption Sample: Who do you wear it for? Remember, when you #WearIt, it’s not just to protect you – it’s to protect your loved ones and set the example. #WearIt. For him.
