Ride Dry, Drive Dry

Our Ride Dry, Drive Dry project enlisted many of boating’s biggest names as positive role models, including professional anglers and wakesport athletes, boating influencers, magazine editors and well-known captains. Each of these boating pros took the Ride Dry pledge not to consume alcohol or drugs while on the water, and asked fans and fellow boaters to follow their example. The project ran from 2016 to 2023 as a recreational boating safety nonprofit grant program administered by the U.S. Coast Guard.
