ANNAPOLIS, Md., Nov. 21, 2022 – A few of boaters’ favorite stocking stuffers and nautical gifts, such as flags, boat mats, towels and pillows – all customizable to include a boat name – are available in an annual fundraising drive for the nonprofit BoatUS Foundation for Boating Safety and Clean Water.

In addition, customizable holiday cards with nautical designs crafted on high-quality FSC-certified paper are available in modern and traditional Christmas designs. All are made in the U.S. using natural inks with 0% VOC.

The annual holiday gift and card fundraiser goes to support BoatUS Foundation programs including the nation's only free online boating safety course, on-water training, kids life jacket loaner program, EPIRB/PLB rentals and more. Check it out at BoatUS.org/HolidayCards.

“Purchase a gift for yourself or boater friends and family, and you’re supporting safe and clean boating,” said Ted Sensenbrenner, BoatUS Foundation assistant director of boating safety.
