With some states starting to relax outdoor recreation policies, we know you are ready to get out, get active and start to return to normal activities. But safety is still critical. The good news is time with your immediate family or small group of friends in your Malibu could be a great activity to do close to home this summer.

Recent studies described by William N. Bryan, the acting undersecretary for science and technology at the U.S. Homeland Security Department, cited emerging laboratory evidence that suggests three key factors in reducing viral transmission: heat, humidity and ultraviolet light. This might as well be a prescription for boating, where heat, humidity and sunlight are an ever-present part of summer life. 

As we start to enjoy the summer, do remember to practice social distancing. Your boat and crew should stay a lot more than 6 feet away from other boaters and the shore line to practice safe watersports activities, but also keep this in mind while waiting for a turn at the boat ramp. 

Of course, we have to remain diligent with disinfecting and cleaning practices, which includes your Malibu’s interior. Fortunately, cleaners like Clorox Wipes, Coverage Plus Germicidal Wipes, and Lysol Foaming Disinfectant Cleaner (amongst many others) are all approved and recommended for boat vinyl cleaning.

To safely experience the Malibu lifestyle, contact your local dealer and get out on the water to experience the performance, quality and customer-centric service that has made Malibu the worldwide volume leader in towboat sales.
