Marine Safety Education

USCG safety requirements mandate that all recreational and commercial vessels carry specific sound and visual signaling devices. Always check your vessel size and classification to confirm compliance.

For additional safety, store a dedicated Marine Safety Kit that includes a whistle, mirror, flashlight, flares, and first aid supplies in a waterproof bag near the helm.

Reminder

Check expiration dates on flares and ensure that all signaling devices are in working condition before each outing. Keep safety accessories organized and easy to reach — emergencies happen fast on the water.
