This study aims to examine safety awareness among recreational boat passengers at Teluk Batik, focusing on their perceptions of safety practices while on board and throughout their trips. A survey was conducted with 100 recreational boat passengers using a structured questionnaire. The results, analyzed through multiple linear regression, reveal a significant relationship between passenger safety awareness and the implementation of individual and organizational safety practices by boat operators. Specifically, passengers exhibited a p-value of 0.00433, indicating a high level of pre-boating safety preparation. Additionally, the analysis yielded a p-value of 5.167E-05, suggesting that recreational boat operators at Teluk Batik actively adhere to safety procedures and best practices. These findings underscore the importance of passenger understanding of safety protocols and the enforcement of these measures by boat operators in enhancing overall passenger safety. This study contributes valuable insights into the effectiveness of current safety practices and highlights areas for improvement within the recreational boating sector at Teluk Batik.
