Prior to heading out on the water, it is completely necessary to make sure that every Coast Guard required item and personal necessity is on board the boat. Additionally, it is highly reccomended to set out on the water prepared for disaster in the event that the passengers must abandon the boat and survive for a period of time before being rescued. It is also important to make sure that the gear on board allows relatively small injuries or mishaps to be dealt with sufficiently. Fortunately, Survival At Sea can help cover all the bases in this area!
