One of the key objectives of Massachusetts KIDS Boating & Fishing Week events is to highlight the off erings from boating and fi shing industry organizations and businesses for kids in our state, and to introduce new kids to the water. Approximately 70 percent of adult boaters started boating when they were kids, and the MMTA recognizes that the more kids we can get on the water safely and smartly today, the better off our industry will be tomorrow. This year, one of the highlights of the events will focus on providing information about the new Hanson Milone Safe Boating bill, which Governor Healey signed into law in January. The bill will take eff ect in April 2026 and require a boating license for all boaters in the state.
