You must provide a Coast Guard approved personal fl otation
device (PFD) for every person on board. Th
ese PFD’s should
be in good condition and easily accessible.
Insist that non-swimmers and children on board wear a PFD at all
times. Any time you encounter rough weather conditions, make
sure everyone on board is wearing a PFD, including yourself.
Instruct your passengers in how to put on their PFDs and be sure they
know their storage location on the boat. Remember, in an emergency,
a PFD that cannot be quickly located and worn is useless.
