FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Press Contact: D. Scott Croft, Vice President Public Affairs, 703-461-2864,
SPRINGFIELD, Va., May 28, 2025 – Recreational boaters whose vessels have been impacted by a hurricane and came out relatively unscathed know it all starts with a plan. With the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season starting June 1, Boat Owners Association of The United States (BoatUS) is offering free hurricane boat preparation information at BoatUS.com/Hurricanes.
Online help is available to every boat owner (no BoatUS membership required), whether their vessel will have to weather the storm in the slip, stored ashore, on a boat lift, in canals, at marinas, boat clubs or hurricane holes.
The storm-planning help includes downloadable guides, videos and in-depth articles from BoatUS, the nation’s largest boating advocacy, services and safety group with more than 725,000 members and with more than 40 years of experience in hurricane preparedness for recreational vessels and post-storm recovery.
The simplest way to begin a customized boat hurricane damage avoidance plan is to download the one-page Hurricane Planning worksheet, which will help you determine a boat’s storage and protection options and needs, including any special equipment such as chafe protection, shackles or extra line.
Also offered is the “BoatUS Magazine Hurricane Preparations Guide,” which offers proven tips and techniques, and the “Guide for Preparing Boats and Marinas for Hurricanes” – a helpful resource for marina and boat club staff, community resiliency managers and local government organizations that focus on protecting boating facilities.
A video playlist includes nine hurricane preparation videos on a range of topics, making it easy to understand the steps to take, such as how to tie up your boat, how to set fenders, and what to do after a hurricane has come through.
If a named storm approaches, BoatUS.com/Hurricanes offers great up-to-the-minute storm tracking tools with live satellite images.
The Atlantic hurricane season officially ends November 30. For more, go to BoatUS.com/Hurricanes.
