How to Pack for Your Next Boating Adventure

It’s important if you go boating that you prepare in advance. You don’t want to leave the land without having everything you need in case of an emergency. Premier Group Insurance, serving Lakewood, CO, and the surrounding area, can help. 

Spare Clothes 

You don’t know if it’s going to rain, you’re going to fall in the mud, or you’re going to get stuck out on the water. You need to have a spare outfit just in case. Even if it’s supposed to be relatively warm all day, you may want to bring a hoodie. 

Sunscreen

You don’t want to get a sunburn while you’re out on the water. Not only is the sun damaging to your skin, but you also don’t want to be in pain while you’re on the water, nor do you want to feel sick when you get home. You may want to wear a hat to protect your head. 

Phone or Radio 

If you’re not sure that your cell phone is going to work properly, you may want to bring a two-way radio to seek out assistance in the event of an emergency. 

First Aid Kit 

You might get a fishing hook in your finger or experience a bee sting. No matter what incident occurs, you want to be able to handle it effectively while you’re out on the water. 

PFD

In case your boat should go down, you want to have at least one personal floatation device aboard per person you have on your boat. 

Boat Registration and Insurance 

You never know when something will happen on the water. You want to keep your registration and boater’s insurance on board with you while you’re on the water, just in case.
