Dear recreational enthusiast,

I would like to take a brief moment of your time to share with you USfloatplan.com. I have traveled the inshore and offshore waters of for more than 30 years. I have had the opportunity to share this amazing natural resource with friends and family. As an avid tournament fisherman, weekend boater, water-skier, and recreational diver, I have witnessed many extreme conditions on the water, some more sudden than others.

I have seen many different maritime incidents during my time on the water and have found, more often than not, that the critical difference between a rescue and recovery is in fact time. The more time that is offered in notification of an incident, the faster Search and Rescue units can arrive on scene to assist everyday recreational enthusiasts like yourself.

I say recreational enthusiast because contrary to most peoples understanding, USfloatplan.com can support a variety of outdoorsy people in distress. This service not only assists boaters or people on the water. Hikers, hunters and fisherman that travel the inland waterways such as rivers and lakes, the waters offshore, national parks or hunting grounds all have the opportunity to utilize this service.

With USfloatplan.com, I have put over 30 years of experience to work for you. Everything we do here is designed to provide the Coast Guard and other emergency response teams, the added valuable time needed to make the difference between a rescue and a recovery.

Through USfloatplan.com, we are able to collect valuable information from you and store it electronically. If an incident arises, the information that you provided is forwarded to your chosen contact network. This information will provide your network of contacts with everything necessary to get the assistance that you need quickly and accurately. It also saves rescue resources a lot of valuable time and money. Instead of them having to search hundreds of potential miles for you, they will be able to narrow the search down to a smaller search grid, thus finding you quicker. I know if I was in need of assistance while 50 miles offshore I would want someone to have a float plan form from USfloatplan.com, it would make a huge difference.

I would like to close by relaying to you that this is something that should not be taken lightly and should be used every time you head out on any adventure. Accidents do happen. Filing a Float Plan is easy, fast and not just for boaters.

Travel Safe;

All my best,

James Dicks
