The FY2027 President's Budget requests $149.9M for Boat Safety, within Homeland Security's Boat Safety account. That is up 7.0% on the FY2026 figure of $140.1M, which is a continuing-resolution annualized figure, not an enacted appropriation.
FY2025–FY2027
| Fiscal year | Basis | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| FY2025 | enacted | $140.1M |
| FY2026 | CR annualized | $140.1M |
| FY2027 | request | $149.9M |
The prior-year column is a CR annualized figure — the rate a continuing resolution funds at, not an enacted appropriation. The two are different numbers and are not interchangeable. Bases are separate columns and are never summed into one figure.
Homeland Security discretionary budget authority
From the OMB Public Budget Database — clean, summable, and the figure to cite for an agency total. It is the whole of Homeland Security's discretionary request, not a total of the parsed lines above, and this page never adds the two together.
What this funds
The Boat Safety Program aims to minimize loss of life, personal injury, property damage, and environmental impact associated with the use of recreational boats. The program directly supports the U.S. Coast Guard's (USCG) Maritime Prevention Program by promoting the safe and enjoyable use of public U.S. waterways. Boat Safety activities include overseeing manufacturer compliance with USCG regulations; making grants to states and national non-profit boating safety organizations; conducting surveys to measure recreational boating activity; continuing the "Boat Responsibly" national outreach and awareness initiative; promulgating safety regulations; and measuring life jacket wear rates, including the effectiveness of voluntary and mandatory efforts to increase life jacket usage. In its role as the designated National Recreational Boating Safety Program Coordinator, the Coast Guard is charged with managing dedicated user fee funding provided from the Sport Fish Restoration and Boating Trust Fund to support the National Recreational Boating Safety Program. In accordance with 16 USC 777c and 46 USC 13107, the Coast Guard is provided set-aside, multi-year funding for Boat Safety administrative expenses.

Contracts funded by this line
5 linked contracts. These are obligations — lifetime awarded money — and they are not comparable to the request above and are never added to it. No total is shown: an award linked to several lines is counted in full on each, so the sum would not be a fact.

Linked contracts are a floor, not a census. Coverage is bounded by how distinctively a program is named and, for performer links, to RDT&E and Procurement — O&M and military construction publish no performers. Budget figures are FY2027 request dollars; contract figures are obligations. The two measure different things and must never be summed together.
