Guernsey's Coastguard and the RNLI are asking islanders to think carefully before taking to the Bailiwick's waters during lockdown.
Under the current restrictions, people can use a pleasure boat, kayak or canoe during their two-hour recreation time - but both organisations are encouraging boaters to consider the risks due to the pressures it can put on their teams.
Captain David Barker from Guernsey Coastguard says the main message is simple: 'Just because you can, does not mean you should.'
These calls have been echoed by teams at the St Peter Port RNLI.
Anyone who finds themselves in difficulty while in the water should call 999 or 112 and ask for the Coastguard.
