Many problems that happen on the water could have been avoided before leaving the dock. What you do now determines what happens later — and this deck keeps small oversights from turning into big issues.

Designed for new and intermediate boaters (and a valuable reminder for experienced boaters who often skip this step), this 6-card quick-reference deck walks you through the essential pre-departure process in a simple, practical way.

You’ll cover the checks that matter most: fuel and mechanical readiness, weather awareness, proper gear loading, required equipment, and making sure your boat is fully prepared before you push off. Each card identifies the common mistakes boaters make at this stage — and the exact steps that prevent them.

Clear, straightforward, and easy to follow — this deck helps ensure nothing important is missed before you leave the dock.

How Helm Cards Are Used at the Helm

Helm Cards are designed for real moments on the water — not manuals you read later.
Each deck stays clipped at the helm so answers are always within reach.

When something feels unclear, flip one card.
When you nail it, hand out the Award Card.
When stress creeps in, pull the Stress-Break Card and reset.

Fast answers. Calm decisions. More confidence underway.

Why Helm Cards Exist:

Most boating mistakes don’t happen because people don’t care —
they happen because the moment is stressful, time is limited, and the information isn’t where you need it.

Helm Cards were created to put calm, proven guidance at the helm, not buried in manuals or videos you watched weeks ago.
They’re designed for real decisions, real conditions, and real people on the water.

These are real Helm Cards decks — waterproof, compact, and designed to stay within reach when you need answers fast.
