Besides meeting the legal requirements, prudent boaters carry 
additional safety equipment.  This is particularly important if you 
operate your boat o

ff

shore.  You should consider the following 

items, depending on how you use your boat.

Satellite EPIRBs

EPIRBs (Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon) operate 
as part of a worldwide distress system.  When activated, EPIRBs 
will send distress code homing beacons that allow Coast Guard 
aircraft to identify and find them quickly.  The satellites that 
receive and relay EPIRB signals are operated by the National 
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in the United 
States.  The EPIRB should be mounted and registered according 
to the instructions provided with the beacon, so that the 
beacon’s unique distress code can be used to quickly identify the 
boat and owner.
