National RBS ProgramMission & Performance Goal
Mission: To ensure the public has a safe, secure, and enjoyable
recreational boating experience by implementing programs
that minimize the loss of life, personal injury, and property
damage, while cooperating with environmental and national
security efforts.
Performance Goal: As a part of the Coast Guard’s Marine
Safety Mission, the National RBS Program’s goal is a reduced
number of casualties per year through 2017 and beyond. For
FY 2013, the annual goal is 3,880 casualties or less (3,212
injuries & 668 deaths).
2012 Recreational BoatingMarket Estimates and Accidents

RBS – A Partnership Program
Key Partners:
Federal, State, Tribal and Local Agencies Boat/Equipment Manufacturers & Retailers Incredible volunteer organizations
National RBS ProgramStrategic Plan - Objectives
1. Increase the number of persons who complete a boating safety course or test that conforms to the National Boating Education Standards as recognized by the USCG.
2. Deliver effective boating safety messages through various educational resources and media to reduce deaths and injuries of recreational boaters.
3. Increase the number of boaters who have completed advanced and/or on-water, skills-based boating education .
4. Increase adult life jacket wear rates nationwide. Targets: 1. Increase the observed adult life jacket wear rate in open motorboats by 3% from the previous year’s wear rate. 2. Increase the observed adult life jacket wear rate on non-motorized vessels by 3% from the previous year’s wear rate.
5. Reduce fatalities associated with Navigation Rules (NAVRULES) violations by 2% per year from the previous year.
6. Achieve a 5% overall decrease in the number of deaths by CY 2016 (using a five-year moving average) where the use of alcohol or other drugs by a boat’s operator and/or occupants was either a direct or indirect cause of the accident24. The five-year average for the 2005 to 2009 time period was 156.
National RBS ProgramStrategic Plan - Objectives
7. Decrease the recreational boat manufacturer ratio of discrepancies per factory inspection annually by 5% and keep boats with insufficient flotation off the market.
8. Increase compliance levels for specific required safety equipment on recreational boats.
9. Using the baseline BARD data from 2009, work towards a goal of 100% by 2016, for boat accident report completeness, accuracy and timely submission pursuant to 33 CFR 173 and 174.
10. Gather and analyze data relevant to recreational boating accidents and exposure.
11. Improve the effectiveness of and increase access to the grant products of the national non-profit organizations.

2013 JSI Study Results Indicate:
Overall life jacket wear rate remained steady at 22.4%. (1999-2013 range 21.1% to 23.4%)
Adults on open motorboats wear rate decreased from 5.0 % to 4.9%. (2006-2013 range 4.5% to 5.3%)
