Choosing the right marine safety equipments isn’t always straightforward. Regulations, vessel size, and your boating habits all play a role in deciding what you need onboard.
Understanding Your Safety Needs
Every vessel must carry certain equipment by law, but going beyond the minimum requirements can save lives. A fishing boat that travels offshore will need different gear than a family pontoon staying close to shore.
The Must-Have Checklist for Boat Owners
- Life-Saving Devices: From inflatable life jackets to throwable cushions.
- Fire & Electrical Safety: Fire extinguishers and circuit breakers designed for marine use.
- Navigation & Monitoring Equipment: GPS, radar, and sonar systems for accurate route planning.
- Lighting Solutions: Floodlights, navigation lights, and emergency strobes for visibility.
- Sound Signaling Devices: Whistles, air horns, and bells to comply with maritime laws.
- Backup Power & Batteries: Ensures critical systems remain functional in emergencies.
