First Aid
Some of the most important safety supplies that you will need to keep stocked up on your boat will be first aid supplies. You should have a marine-grade first aid kit on board that is up-to-date and adequately stocked. If you do not provide adequate first aid on your boat, you could be held liable for injuries, especially if you are unable to properly care for a passenger’s injuries before getting them back to land.
Life Jackets
As a boat owner, you also have a responsibility to provide life jackets for your passengers. Although there are no clear-cut laws governing this practice, you should be aware that if someone is injured because they didn’t have a life vest available on your boat, you could be held liable for their injury or death. This is a very serious matter that you should not take lightly.
Survival Supplies
Another thing that you should keep in mind when stocking up your boat would be survival supplies. If you and your passengers are stranded for some reason on your boat, you will need food, water, and blankets. You can never predict exactly what might happen when you take your boat out which is why you need to be prepared.
