Take enough items and be prepared for the unexpected. Now, we’ll bring some equipment that are essential for a complete safety of your vessel. Are they:

Fire extinguisher – Fire is one of the most serious accidents that a vessel may suffer. Even though it is not common, it is essential to prevent. The vessels are composed of electrical networks and flammable liquids which, if not properly inspected periodically, may cause a breakdown or fire. Always have one fire extinguisher properly working.

Life jacket – This is a mandatory accessory on boats, helping to safeguard everyone on the vessel, in case of an emergency. The number of lifejackets on a speedboat must be equal to the total of people on board. In addition, all sizes must be considered since there may be children on board.

First aid kit- small accidents such as: burns, bruises and cuts can always happen, which is why it is important to have basic first aid solutions. Some important suggestions are medicine for seasickness, antiallergic for mosquito bites, ointment for burns, bandages and patch for wounds and aspirin for pain relief.

Circular buoy – This is another essential example of an accessory for boats, since it helps in the rescue of people who fall overboard. Noting that the buoy circular must contain the registration number of the product approval, as it guarantees that the product is in good quality. If the float does not show the number, it is possible that you will receive a fine in case of inspection.

Emergency flares- They are used for times of distress, in case of any unforeseen incident with the vessel. The emergency beacons are indicated for long and short distance rescue.

Other items that can become profoundly useful for navigation are: magnetic needle, binoculars, ropes, compass, radar, echo sounder, a kit of tools, whistle, bell, general emergency alarm and a flashlight in open sea according to the size of the vessel.

It’s not enough just to buy the items to throw them in a corner of the boat without never read the instruction manual. When purchasing any equipment, you must familiarize yourself with its use.

When dealing with the navigation location, in addition to the dimensions and power of the speedboat, also consider the proximity to the support points. For example, when navigating dams, rivers or lakes, whose distance to marinas, clubs or even the shores is relatively short, you can consider an open bow boat. As if there is any sudden change of time, you can access shelter locations more easily. Besides the boat with an open bow provides better weight distribution in the vessel and better interaction between pilot and passengers.

The fact of having small children brings the concern of sheltering the children from the sun and the rain. However, a small cabin boat does not have air conditioning in the cabin, and you will have to rely on natural ventilation very good or your cabin tends to turn into a sauna. A simple alternative to this is the sun canopy with full closure. In addition to the investment considerably be smaller, you’ll have more space for passengers.

By offering comfort and practicality, the cabin boat is one of the most in demand speedboats in the market, in addition to being excellent for family outings. Regarding the size, cabin boats can be divided into two main types. Between 21 and 30 feet, the cabin normally functions as a protected space, recommended for cruising during the day and for those who wants to sail with children or elderly people. The bigger vessels over 30 feet have more comfortable cabins and space to stay overnight, sheltering a larger number of people. Experts claim that boats up to 30 feet are the most suitable for novice sailors. For cabin boats, it is recommended those with size around 26/27 feet. Did you like these tips?

Therefore, researching all the models available are strongly recommended. Get in contact with dealers and try to understand as much as possible. The more you plan yourself, the less will be the cost for and the greater the probability of finding your ideal speedboat. Look for information about characteristics such as: motor, type of gas and origin of manufacturer. Know that a brand new speedboat will have a higher initial cost, where you could buy a bigger used speedboat. However, the cost of maintenance also tends to be higher, and you must balance these costs.

It is also important that you have in mind where you pretend to sail. Each model of speedboat is indicated for a specific environment. There are vessels that are used for the sea, some for rivers and lakers and others that fulfil both needs. For cruise or sports practice, bigger speedboats are more comfortable. As for lakes and rivers, a smaller boat can be a better option due to its practicality and lower cost.

Do not forget that, for each of these options it will have costs related to the anchorage in which the vessel will remain during the period in which you will be on land. Your boat will be floating on the water, or suspended in pier trestles or nautical club?
