CARRY A BEACON
A satellite beacon such as an EPIRB (Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon) or PLB (Personal Locator Beacon) provides a vital lifeline during emergencies, allowing boaters to transmit distress signals and relay their precise location to search and rescue teams. Carrying an EPIRB or PLB significantly improves the chances of being quickly located and rescued in case of a boating accident, capsize, or if you’re stranded in a remote area.
