When operating a boat near other boats or in a congested area?

When operating a boat near other vessels or in congested areas, it is essential to maintain a safe speed and be vigilant to avoid collisions. Always keep a lookout for other boats, navigational markers, and potential hazards while adhering to the "Rules of the Road" for maritime navigation. Communicate intentions clearly through sound signals and visual cues, and be prepared to take evasive action if necessary. Prioritize safety by ensuring all passengers are wearing life jackets and that the boat is equipped with required safety gear.
