Safety First

We provide USCG-required Type 1 PFDs for 4 adults and 2 children (up to 90 lbs.).

These are excellent in emergencies but not comfortable for fishing.

You may bring your own PFD if you'd prefer to wear one during the trip.

Michigan Law: Children under 6 must wear a USCG-approved Type I or II PFD while on an open deck underway.
