Boat safety equipment requirements vary from state to state. However, there are a few basic things you must carry to stay safe on the water, including:

A first aid kit
An anchor to hold your vessel in position
A bilge pump to remove water from the bottom of the boat
An emergency position indicating radio beacon (EPIRB) and a personal locator beacon (PLB) so emergency services can find you
A compass and chart in case you get lost
Inflatable life jackets for all passengers
Signalling equipment and sound devices like air horns , megaphones and bells
A marine radio to communicate with emergency services and other vessels
Navigation lights for nighttime sailing
A waterproof floating torch to signal for help
Distress flags (V-sheet) and flares to signal for help
A fire extinguisher and fire bucket for on-board fires
Throwable flotation devices like cushions and rings
Paddles or oars with rowlocks (boats up to 6m long) in case the engine fails
A safety label stating the maximum number of people/load you can carry on your boat

What to do if you get stranded offshore

If you find yourself stranded offshore, the most important thing is to remain calm and take action. Boat safety gear like air horns, mirrors and megaphones can help alert other vessels in the area that you need help.

It's also a good idea to have a life jacket or flotation device on board — this could make all the difference if you ever find yourself in a situation like this. It's also important to stay with your boat — it can provide shelter and make it easier to be spotted by other boaters or emergency personnel.

FAQs about boat safety gear

What do I need in a first aid kit?

Ensure your first aid kit contains all the necessary items for treating cuts, scrapes and bruises, as well as any other injuries or illnesses. You should stock up on bandages, pain relief medication, antiseptic ointment, gauze dressing and padding. Other useful items in a boating first aid kit include a pair of scissors, tweezers, safety pins and disposable gloves.
How do I know what size life jacket to buy?

The most important factor when selecting a life jacket is making sure it fits correctly. Different sizes are available for adults and children, so you should measure the chest size of each person who will be using the life jacket. Many states and territories have specific regulations about life jacket sizes and types, so be sure to check these as well.

Am I required to carry boating safety equipment?

Yes, you are required by law to carry boat safety equipment on board. The requirements vary from state to state, so be sure to check in with your state laws (see links above).
How often do I need to check my marine safety equipment?

It is important to inspect your boat's safety equipment and ensure it is in good working order before each trip. In particular, check the inflatable life jackets to ensure they are in good condition and that everyone is wearing one on board. Additionally, ensure any fire extinguishers or flares are up to date and have not expired.

If you ever have any doubts about the condition of your boat safety equipment, it’s best to replace them as soon as possible.
What other boat safety gear should I consider?

You might also want to stock up on additional items such as fire extinguishers, bailers, boat hooks and first aid kits. Some of these items can be life-savers in an emergency, so it's worth investing in them for peace of mind.
