The National Recreational Boating Safety Survey

OMB 1625-0089 · DHS/USCG.

OMB 1625-0089

The National Recreational Boating Safety Survey aims to estimate the total population of boaters in the United States and by state and collects attitudinal data on public safety interventions such as safety equipment and boating safety courses. The survey also estimates the total boat population of paddlecraft (canoes, kayaks, standup paddleboards) that are not required to be registered with a state authority like a Department of Motor Vehicles. Since the 2018 NRBSS was conducted, canoe and kayak fatalities have risen from 21% to 26% of total fatal incidents, accounting for nearly 150 deaths in 2023.
