How Common Are Boat Accidents in Clearwater?
Florida is surrounded by over 8,400 miles of shoreline. That, combined with countless rivers, lakes, and intracoastal waterways, makes Florida an ideal state for boaters. Unfortunately, that also makes Florida a common site for boating accidents.
According to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC), a total of 751 reportable boating accidents occurred in 2021. That’s actually a decrease from the 836 boating accidents that were reported in 2020.
Still, 162 people were injured in accidents involving personal watercraft across the state of Florida in 2021. At least 17 accident victims were killed that year.
Accidents can happen in any type of vessel, including:
- Open motorboats
- Cabin motorboats
- Pontoon boats
- Fishing vessels
- Rental boats
- Sailboats
- Airboats
- Jet skis
- Kayaks, canoes, and other non-motorized watercraft
- Cruise ships
Unfortunately, Pinellas County ranked fifth on the list of the top ten most dangerous counties for boaters in 2021.
