Tips for Safe Firework Viewing from the Water

The 4th of July weekend is officially here and at Lake of the Ozarks, that means boating and fireworks! Our boat lift company at the Lake of the Ozarks knows how exciting holiday weekends are for our fellow boaters. It means you get to enjoy all day out on the water doing what you love and then catching some spectacular fireworks displays around the area at night. There's nothing quite like viewing fireworks from the water. Check out a few of the awesome places you can catch these fantastic displays around the Lake of the Ozarks this holiday weekend and some quick safety tips to keep top of mind:

Photo Credit: Fun Lake

Firework Viewing Safety Tips:

  • Be aware of other boaters when navigating to and from crowded fireworks displays
  • Pack jackets or blankets on the boat to help keep the evening chill away
  • Bring snacks and drinks for your entire boatload -- you don't want anyone getting hungry or thirsty out on the water. It's important to stay hydrated, especially after a long day on the water. 
  • Keep a safe distance from the firework barges. Debris and other particles can fall from the sky when fireworks explode -- try to keep a safe distance away from the fireworks themselves. 
  • Designate a captain. It's a holiday weekend and we know it's fun to get out on the water and have a good time but it's vital that you have a designated captain on board to safely navigate your boat back to the dock.

What Items to Bring on Your Next Boat Outing

If you're planning to head out on the boat, you're in for a fun-filled day! Whether you're cruising up and down the lake, coving out, or taking the kids tubing, get ready to make some amazing summer memories! As the best boat lift company at the Lake of the Ozarks, we know all about boating and the awesome fun that can be had on the water. To help you better prepare for your boating outing, take a look at the checklist of things you should bring on the boat with you!


Beach Towels

Having plenty of towels on the boat is very handy. Whether there's a spill or your entire family is dripping wet from being in the water, towels will come in clutch for your boating day!

Life Jackets

Every person on board should have a life jacket that fits. If you don't have enough on your boat, be sure to bring extras with you on your next day on the lake. Also, store life jackets in an easy to access location that way they can be grabbed in a hurry if needed. Remember, it's required by law for kids to wear life jackets while on board, as well. 


Sunscreen

Protect your skin while you're out on the water. Even if the sun isn't shining bright, you can still get a sunburn. Help better protect yourself and everyone on board by providing sunscreen. And don't forget to reapply every few hours!


Dry Bag

It's important to store your valuable items in a dry bag on board. Keep your phone protected from splashes around the boat when it's safely stored in a dry bag. If you aren't keeping your phone stored away all day, consider purchasing a floating waterproof case for your phone to keep it safe (and afloat) if it goes overboard!


Water Toys

Whether you're planning to participate in watersports or you're just coving out, it's important you have the right gear for an enjoyable day on the water. Floaties and noodles are some great items to bring if you're planning to cove out and hang out in the water. If you're planning to ski, wakeboard, or tube, don't forget to the necessary ropes!


Snacks & Water

It's important to stay hydrated and to have plenty to eat, especially on a hot day. Getting dehydrated from not drinking enough water is a common issue when spending the day on the boat. If you're enjoying other refreshments, make sure you are drinking enough water, too. 


Dry Clothes

Sitting in a wet swimsuit or clothing can be uncomfortable. If you're planning to spend a lot of time out of the water, consider packing a change of clothes so you can be more comfortable hanging out on the boat or at a water restaurant during your boating day. If your boating day turns into night, consider packing a light jacket, as well. 


Bumpers & Tie Lines

If you're planning to dock up or hook up to a line of other boats during your outing, you'll want to make sure you have bumpers and tie-up lines. This protects your boat and others from damage by providing a rubber buffer between the two. Tie-ups make it easy to keep your boat tied up and secure in place. 

Now's the perfect time to start getting those bags packed for your boating adventures. If your boat sits in the water at your dock and isn't stored on a lift, it's time to invest in a boat lift at the Lake of the Ozarks. Here at Summerset Boat Lifts, we know the numerous benefits of keeping your boat on a lift and we'd love to share some of that knowledge with you! Give the best boat lift company in Osage Beach, MO a call today!
