Boating Safety Checklists

Boat Safety Equipment Checklist What safety equipment do you need onboard? Check out our below:
	VHF radios
	Life jackets
	Throwable PFDs
	Sound devices — some vessels are required to carry a power whistle or power horn and a bell on board
	Fire extinguishers — Coast Guard-approved fire extinguishers are required on certain boats
	Anchor and line
	Basic tools and spare parts — spark plugs and other parts should be marine-rated. Never use automotive parts
	Flares or other visual distress signals
	Compass and chart
	First aid kit
	Paddle and bailer
	Lights and flashlight

Assembling a Personal Care Kit It’s also a good idea to assemble a personal care kit you can keep on your boat at all times. That way you’ll have what you need to stay more comfortable and safe in case of an emergency. Supplies might include:
	Personal care items such as sunscreen and prescription medicines
	Sunglasses and hat
	Foul weather gear
	Binoculars
	Extra clothing and a hat for warmth, preferably wool
	Food and water

Preparing and Filing a Float Plan Finally, remember to file a float plan before you leave on a boating trip. Give the following information to a friend or relative who can call for help if you do not return as scheduled:
	A complete description of your vessel including the registration number
	Names of people on board
	Information about where you are going
	Expected return time
	Phone number of the local or state marine authority
