The general safety obligation requires all boat
owners and operators to make sure the boat is safe, appropriately equipped and
crewed and operated in a safe manner.
All boats must carry:
- an EPIRB when
operating beyond smooth and partially smooth waters (open waters) and
when 2 nautical miles from land
- a signalling device when operating between sunset and
sunrise
Boats requiring registration must carry the regulated safety
equipment.
Boats not requiring registration, including tenders, do not
have to carry the regulated safety equipment, except a signalling device and
EPIRB if required, but do have to satisfy the general safety obligation.
