The North American Safe Boating Campaign is a year-round campaign focused on spreading the message of boating safety, encouraging boater education, and helping to save lives. It kicks off each year the full week before Memorial Day Weekend with National Safe Boating Week, with focused efforts during the peak boating season of May – September. Promoting life jacket wear by every boater is the leading goal of the Campaign.〔“NSBC celebrates 50 years”.

The Campaign is a core program of the National Safe Boating Council.〔“National Safe Boating Week – Why?”.

This tradition continued until 1957 when an official National Safe Boating Week observation took place sponsored by the United States Coast Guard Auxiliary in various parts of the country.〔“About the Auxiliary”.

Eisenhower signed PL 85-445, to establish National Safe Boating Week as the first week starting on the first Sunday in June.〔〔“Public Law 85-445”.

Retrieved 2009-07-29.〕 In 1995, the date for National Safe Boating Week was finally changed to the full week (Saturday – Friday) before Memorial Day Weekend each year. This allowed the message of safe boating to reach more boaters before the season and enforce the message for a longer amount of time each year.〔〔 The official entrance of Canada in 2000 transformed National Safe Boating Week into a larger, international event with partnerships with the Canadian Safe Boating Council and Canadian Coast Guard. National Safe Boating Week now serves as the kick off for the North American Safe Boating Campaign, a year-round campaign that is focused during the summer months of May – September.〔“Wear It!
