Life Vests & Safety

Life jackets, radios, beacons, first aid and dry bags so everyone comes home.

Out on the bay, in the mangroves or on the open ocean, the everyday struggles get left behind at the dock. For those few hours, it’s just you, the smell of the sea and a feeling of peace, until the bite starts and it’s nothing but joy and excitement.

Life Vests & Safety

Wear the life vest

A vest only works if you're wearing it. Inflatable belt packs and vests are cool enough for Caribbean heat, so there's no excuse. Kids wear a properly sized foam vest, always.

Be found if something goes wrong

Carry a handheld VHF radio and, offshore, a personal locator beacon registered to you. Tell someone your float plan before you leave the dock.

Keep electronics dry

A dry bag or hard dry box protects phones, keys and wallets from spray and rain. Check local boating rules for the required safety gear.
