What Do I Need On My Boat?
Required Boating Equipment
Life Jackets
There must be on each vessel one life jacket for each person on board. The life jacket must fit the person wearing it. For example, if there are children on board, they must be wearing a life jacket suitable for a child. In Nevada, children 12 and under must be wearing the life jacket. If inflatable type life jackets are onboard, they must be worn to count as a life jacket available for use!
