If you are a boat owner, the safety of your passengers should be a top priority. One of the ways you can keep your passengers safe is by having the right safety supplies on board before you ever set out. Here at Insurance Solutions LLC serving Omaha, NE we want to help you get the most out of your boat ownership.

Learn more about boat safety supplies:

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.

Make sure your boat is protected this winter

Owning a boat is a great way to spend time with friends and family during the warmer months. Now that boating season is over, it’s time to review your boat’s winter storage situation. For many people, this means taking the boat to the dry dock. For others, it means covering the craft and storing it outdoors at home. And, of course, there are a number of options in between. 

However you plan to store your boat during the off-season, make sure that it’s protected. Depending on which storage option you go with, your insurance needs could differ. You will want to have protection from losses due to fire, flood, theft, and vandalism, in addition to the coverage you need when your boat is actively used. 

Knowing that your boat is protected can make the off-season a lot less stressful. And, having the peace of mind that comes with knowing you have the right protection for your vessel will make the time waiting for the next boating season to start again a lot more pleasant!
