Safety
Safety offshore is absolutely paramount. In addition to U.S. Coast Guard mandated offshore PFDs, flares, and fire extinguishers, we carry:
-
a certified four-person life raft,
-
two satellite communicators,
-
three registered emergency beacons,
-
a 1 kW radar system,
-
twin DSC-VHF radios on separate electric circuits,
-
two handheld VHF radios,
-
a ditch bag with fresh water, food, and additional flares
-
first aid kits.
Your Captain is American Red Cross First Aid/CPR/AED and Tactical Emergency Casualty Care (TECC) certified.
Eisenglass and offshore beanbag chairs allow for a comfortable ride in rough and wet conditions.
Boston Whaler has historically made one of the safest vessels on the water because of their unique foam-filled hull design and pressurized "Unibond" construction method, ensuring that even if the boat takes on water, the foam core will keep it afloat, making it virtually "unsinkable".**
**The "unsinkable" claim is made by Boston Whaler about their vessels, backed by considerable testing and decades of experience. Off-Grid Sportsman does not make this claim. https://www.brunswickcgp.com/boston-whaler-models.html
