Boat Accident Statistics

Most boat accidents happen in the ocean or bay areas rather than rivers or lakes. It is also true that most of these accidents occur in small, open vessels on inland waterways during the daytime when the weather is clear, the water is calm, and the winds are light.

According to the Statista Research Department, 767 people died, and 3,191 were wounded in boating accidents in the United States in 2020. This figure has dropped by over a thousand in the last 16 years. The number of fatalities and injuries related to boating accidents grew significantly over the previous year.

Many boating accidents have occurred due to alcohol consumption, and most boating casualties might have been avoided by wearing personal flotation devices.
