Building Your Boat Safety Equipment Kit

A prepared boater is a safe boater. While many sailors ask what safety equipment is required on a boat in Florida or Maryland, the basics remain consistent across most coastal waters. A comprehensive boat safety equipment kit should include:

• Personal Flotation Devices (PFDs): High quality life jackets for every person on board.
• Visual Distress Signals: USCG approved flares and electronic SOS lights.
• Communication & Location: EPIRBs, PLBs, and AIS units to alert rescue authorities.
• Fire Suppression: Properly rated fire extinguishers for marine fuel and electrical fires.
• First Aid: Marine grade medical kits treated for moisture resistance.
• Man Overboard (MOB) Gear: Throwables, life slings, and recovery tethers.
