Take the Pledge:

Boat Sober for Brooklyn Mae

Honor a life. Keep our waters safer. Make the choice to boat sober. Lives depend on it.

Why Boat Sober

Our waterways should be about joy, freedom, and connection — not tragedy.

At just 10 years old, Brooklyn Mae Carroll’s life was cut short while swimming at the lake because someone made the choice to drink and get behind the wheel. The sober passengers onboard allowed an impaired captain to operate the boat - a decision that took Brooklyn's life.

We’re working to make sure no other family endures the pain and heartbreak we've faced. Alcohol use is the leading known contributing factor in fatal boating incidents, and every one of those tragedies is 100% preventable.

By taking the Boat Sober Pledge, you’re committing to operate boats responsibly, protect those around you, and help make our waterways safer for everyone.

One choice can change everything - Choose to boat sober and save lives.

Why People Take The Pledge To Boat Sober

For my daughter, Brooklyn Mae 💙

For Brooklyn Mae, I choose safety as an act of love. I will ride only with a sober captain, speak up when it is not safe, and help everyone get home safely. One moment can ripple into a lifetime of pain, and I will never place any moment above another person's safety or future. 💙

For my daughter, B. I never want another family to experience the heartbreak and pain that I will carry for the rest of my life.

I take the pledge to boat sober because I know what it means to lose someone, I love dearly my granddaughter, Brooklyn Mae. I choose sobriety not just for safety, but to honor her life, her laughter, and the love we shared.

In honor of sweet Brooklyn. To always put safety of others first.

I pledge to stay sober whenever I operate any boat, protect my passengers, and keep our waters safe. If someone else is in charge, I will make sure they are sober or designate a sober captain. I will make responsible decisions and inspire others to do the same.
