We've teamed up with DriveDry.org to Raffle our Blue Cat 17!

CCO Boat Club and DriveDry.org Join Forces to Promote Safe Boating Through Exclusive Blue Cat 17 Raffle

In a bold and meaningful initiative to combat alcohol-related incidents on the water, CCOBoatClub.com proudly announces its partnership with DriveDry.org — a nonprofit organization dedicated to reducing impaired boating through advocacy, education, and community action. This collaboration launches with a high-impact campaign: a nationwide raffle of the CCO Boat Club’s custom Blue Cat 17, aimed at raising awareness and funds to help reduce alcohol-related fatalities on the water.

A Mission-Driven Partnership

CCO Boat Club has long championed the responsible enjoyment of boating, and DriveDry.org's mission aligns perfectly with that vision. By coming together, the two organizations seek to spotlight the dangers of boating under the influence and offer tangible solutions through education and prevention programs.

Alan Blanco, Owner at CCO Boat Club, shared: "We’re not just about boating access and fun—we’re about fostering a safe and respectful boating culture. Partnering with DriveDry.org helps us deepen our commitment to the boating community by helping ensure that everyone gets home safely."

The Blue Cat 17: A Vessel for Change

At the center of this initiative is the Blue Cat 17, a sleek and versatile center console skiff that embodies the performance and coastal lifestyle that CCO Boat Club stands for. This custom vessel will be raffled off, with proceeds going directly to DriveDry.org’s programs, which include:

- Public awareness campaigns about the dangers of boating under the influence (BUI)

- Youth and community education efforts

- On-water safety outreach events

- Support for law enforcement and first responders

Participants can enter the raffle at DriveDry.org, where they’ll also find more information about the partnership and the ongoing mission to make waterways safer. Entries are open now, with the drawing to be held on August 1st, 2025—just in time for peak boating season.

Making Waves Beyond the Water

DriveDry.org Executive Director Mark Watts emphasized the importance of community-based initiatives: "This partnership with CCO Boat Club brings our mission to life in a way that’s accessible, fun, and impactful. Together, we’re not just raffling off a boat—we’re helping save lives."
