Terms of Service

This website exists to explain who we are and what we are trying to build. It is not a substitute for training, for official navigation information, or for professional advice.

Who these terms are with

This site is published by BoatLife Foundation, a NJ Nonprofit Corporation, based in Holmdel, New Jersey. BoatLife Foundation is a New Jersey nonprofit corporation and has applied for recognition as a tax-exempt organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.In these terms, “we” and “us” mean that organization, and “you” means anyone using the site.

What this site is

Everything here is provided for general information about our mission, programs, and plans. BoatLife Foundation was formed on July 22, 2026 and describes much of its work as planned or in development. Where a page says a program is planned, it is a statement of intent, not a promise that it will launch, launch on a schedule, or launch in a particular place.

Safety information is not training

We write about boating safety and waterway conditions. That material is educational and general. It is not a certified safety course, not a navigational aid, and not a substitute for current official information from the United States Coast Guard, the National Weather Service, or your state boating authority. You are responsible for the safety of your vessel, your passengers, and yourself. Always check current conditions and follow the law where you are operating.

Links to other sites

We sometimes link to other organizations and agencies. We do not control those sites and are not responsible for their content, accuracy, or practices. A link is not an endorsement of everything on the other end of it.

Changes

We may update these terms as the organization grows and the site changes. The date at the top shows when they were last revised. Continuing to use the site after a change means you accept the revised terms.
