Return to Boating

The RYA's guiding principles will underpin all guidance across the boating community.

1. The RYA will always follow Government advice. The COVID-19 preventative measures are vital to protecting health and wellbeing and to minimise pressure on frontline services. We all have a role to play by following the Government guidelines.

2. We will, as a boating community, take a considerate and conservative approach

Be considerate: be mindful of the potential impact that you could have on other water users and do not place unnecessary extra strain on the RNLI and emergency services.

Be conservative: help to minimise risk by taking an extra conservative approach to your boating.
