All children under 13 years of age in
motorboats under 26 feet in length must wear a U.S. Coast Guard
approved PFD while underway. Underway means not at anchor, made
fast to the shore, or aground.
If you have a personal lifevest for your son or
daughter that is under age 13, please bring it with you. I have
a couple of youth life vests but, would prefer that you bring
one for your childs comfort and safety.
Please ensure that your son or daughter understands that they
will have to wear the vest the entire trip until we tie back up
to our dock.
Children under the age of 17 do not need a fishing
license. |
